Introducing the 2023 Ball Family Reserve “Shadow Korina” DarkRay, an exceptional bass that builds upon the foundation of the original. Limited to 100 units worldwide, each bass includes a Mono case and numbered certificate of authenticity. Experience the pinnacle of craftsmanship and sonic versatility in this exclusive instrument.
This bass features a Darkglass 2 EQ preamp with alpha and omega distortions, a sleek black limba body, roasted maple neck and fretboard, and stainless steel frets. It plays amazingly well, just like you’d expect a Music Man Stingray to be, and has the added feature of the Darkglass electronics.
The finish on this one is unique, as it’s gunstock oil and a hand-rubbed special wax blend. There’s not great way to describe how it feels, other than a single word: smooth. The masters craftspeople at Music Man absolutely nailed it.
This is a Limited Edition model, with only 100 made for the whole world. We were thrilled to get one, but we only have one – so once it’s gone, it’s gone for good. A numbered Certificate of Authenticity is included. The bass comes in a special Mono case, which in itself is a great value.
Come to Truetone Music today to check it out, or order right here to be shipped to your home.
