Description & Condition
Description & Condition
Music Man emerged as Leo Fender's second brand and became beloved by bassists worldwide.
Many artists, including Louis Johnson and Flea, are known to use their basses. (Titles omitted)
The Stingray is a classic model that enjoys overwhelming popularity within the brand.
It's no exaggeration to say that, alongside Fender's Jazz Bass and Precision Bass, it's one of the most popular basses in the world.
The Stingray's specifications differ before and after Music Man was acquired by Erni Ball; pre-acquisition models are given special treatment as "Pre-Erni" models.
The Stingray was introduced in 1976, and the specifications changed around 1980.
This particular model is a 1977 model.
"DEC 12 1977" is written in the neck pocket.
This is how we determined it was made in 1977.
The body is made of hardwood.
Please note that identifying the specific wood type is difficult. The neck and fretboard are made of maple.
It's a beautiful one-piece construction with no glued joints.
It has been refretted, and the neck is currently in excellent condition.
A nut and refinish have also been performed.
The workmanship is clean and, judging from its condition, appears to have been done relatively recently.
The pickups and preamp are original.
Key features of the Pre Ernie include a body without contouring, a 3-knob circuit, a 3-bolt neck joint, and a string-through-body bridge.
It offers a more woody, bass-heavy sound compared to models with 4-knob preamps.
However, this is only in comparison; when boosted with the preamp, it produces a powerful, punchy sound.
Boosting the bass results in a punchy sound, while boosting the treble creates a more flamboyant, attack-oriented sound.
Furthermore, this particular instrument appears to be in relatively good condition.
It's recommended for those who are concerned about the remaining fret and truss rod length.
This is one of those fascinating vintage basses that continues to be talked about to this day.
The frets have approximately 80% remaining.
The truss rod is in good condition.
The neck is in good condition.
The body and paintwork show scratches, dents, and paint chips. The metal parts show some tarnishing.
The electronics are in good condition.
The bass has been refretted and re-nutted. The potentiometers have been replaced.
