Moonbeam
Limited to 100 units worldwide, the Ball Family Reserve "Moonbeam" StingRay Special 5 HH bass highlights a beautiful purple burst finish on both the front and back of the bass and is constructed of premium lightweight ash with a figured maple top. The 22-fret oil-and-wax polished white flamed maple neck and fingerboard are tastefully accentuated with pearlescent purple block inlays, a matching figured maple headstock, and all gold hardware. Equipped with dual Music Man neodymium humbucking pickups, a 3-band EQ, an 18-volt preamp, and a 5-way switch, this bass delivers the legendary Stingray 5 punch and growl. Each bass ships with a certificate of authenticity and a custom G&G hardshell case.

Ball Family Reserve is a celebration of our heritage in instrument craftsmanship which features some of the finest figured tone woods and finishes available. These rare pieces are offered in limited production runs and allow us to present instruments to the public that were previously reserved for family and our loyal artists.
The Ball family is the last of a dying breed, a family business making premium guitars and basses on the California central coast since 1984. Sterling Ball, alongside his sons Brian and Scott, combine the laser precision of robotics and old-world hand craftsmanship to develop innovative instrument designs that push the boundaries of performance and playability.
