Limited to just 98 pieces, this StingRay Special HH features an exclusive satin Dargie Delight 3 finish that covers the entire body, headstock, and back of the neck. The ebony fretboard omits traditional face dot inlays in favor of two "Runway" pearl inlays that outline the fretboard on both sides. Black hardware and a 5 ply black/cream/black/cream/black pickguard complete the aesthetic. Each bass ships with a numbered certificate of authenticity.:
