(Titles omitted)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Stingray is the brand's most popular and iconic model.\u003cbr\u003eIt's no exaggeration to say that, alongside the Fender Jazz Bass and Precision Bass, it's one of the most popular basses in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeaking of Stingrays, the specifications differ before and after Musicman was acquired by Erni Ball, and models from before the acquisition are specially treated as Pre-Ernies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Stingray was introduced in 1976, and the specifications changed around 1980.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular instrument was manufactured in 1982 and features the transitional specifications of the 1980s and later, featuring a four-point joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume pot date is 1378108, the treble pot date is 1378226, and the bass pot date is 13780089.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on the above, we have determined it to be an 1982 model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharacteristics of the Pre Ernie include a flat body, three-knob circuit, three-point joints, and a through-the-back bridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one was manufactured after the 1980s, and therefore features a four-point joint and a through-the-front bridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has a more woody, low-end sound than models equipped with four-knob preamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, this is only in comparison; when viewed alone, it produces a crisp, powerful sound when boosted with the preamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoosting the lows produces a punchy sound, while boosting the treble produces a more flashy, attacking sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe maple neck is beautifully crafted in one piece with no glue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is one of those appealing vintage basses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese specs are a bit on the niche side, so if you're looking for one, we recommend giving it a try.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproximately 90% of the frets remain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe truss rod is stiff, but we have confirmed that it can move about 90 degrees.\u003cbr\u003eThe neck is slightly pitched high. It currently plays perfectly within the GIB standard of 2.0mm-2.5mm above the 12th fret. Two shims are included (one covers the entire neck pocket).\u003cbr\u003eThe body and finish have numerous scratches and dents, showing signs of age-appropriate wear.\u003cbr\u003eThe electronics are in good condition.\u003cbr\u003eThe instrument has been refretted, re-nutted, and the fingerboard repainted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControls: Volume, Treble, Bass\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 42.6mm\u003cbr\u003eBridge String Spacing: 19.0mm\u003cbr\u003eScale: 34-Inch\u003cbr\u003eYear of Manufacture: 1982\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Manufacture: USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guitar is set up using SIT Strings, favored by many professional artists.\u003cbr\u003eThe strings are characterized by stable tuning and a powerful, three-dimensional sound.
