Music Man was Leo Fender's second brand and was beloved by bassists worldwide.
Even after being acquired by Ernie Ball, this continued to be the case, and the brand is widely accepted by modern bassists.
Many artists, including Louis Johnson and Flea, are known to use Music Man basses. (Titles omitted)
The Stingray is the brand's most popular staple.
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.
This model is a reproduction of the so-called pre-Ernie period, produced in the mid- to late 1970s.
Distinguishing features include a gloss finish on the neck and bridge mutes, and a two-band EQ.
Compared to models like the Special, this model has a more classic feel.
You don't often see a 5-string MM style with these specs.
It features a manly design with a single humbucking pickup mounted on the rear.
The guitar is made from alnico magnets.
This gives it a warm, vintage-like sound.
The original preamp has been replaced with a DELANO Sonar2, giving it a clearer, more modern sound.
Some people may find this easier to use.
The powerful, punchy sound is exactly what we imagine funk to be.
We encourage you to give it a try.
Approximately 70% of the frets remain.
The truss rod is in good condition.
The neck is in good condition.
The body and paint have some minor scratches, but are generally clean.
The electrical system is in good condition.
The preamp has been replaced with a DELANO Sonar2. The bridge is designed so that the strings cannot be threaded through the front of the guitar.
