Musicman was introduced as Leo Fender's second brand and was loved by bassists all over the world.
Even after it was acquired by Ernie Ball, it remains the same and is widely accepted by modern bassists.
Many artists such as Louis Johnson and Flea are known to use the company's basses.
Stingray is the brand's overwhelmingly popular standard model.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is one of the most popular basses in the world, along with Fender's Jazz Bass and Precision Bass.
This is a through neck type which is very rare these days.
While maintaining the crisp, strong sound typical of the Stingray, you can still feel the smooth rise and long sustain typical of a through-neck.
It sounds as beautiful as it looks.
The PU is a standard type with only one large humbucking type on the bridge side.
Approximately 70% of the frets remain.
The truss rod works well.
The condition of the neck is that it has some symptoms of high pitching and a twist that tends to warp on the 1st string side, but the string height above the 12th fret is 2.2 mm on the 1st string side and 2.7 mm on the 4th string side, so it is playable without jamming or buzzing. If you would like to lower the string height further or improve the neck condition, please contact GIB for repairs.
The condition of the body and paint surface is that there are some dents and scratches here and there.
The electrical system is in good condition.
No obvious modification points were found.

When setting up, I use D'addario EXL, which is highly trusted by professional musicians.
Characterized by a powerful attack and rich overtones, it is a performance worthy of being called a standard.
These are high-quality strings that bring out the maximum performance and character of your instrument, so please enjoy them as well.
GIB's craftsmen have adjusted it to make it easier to play and then deliver it to you.
Accessories: Hard case, cleaning kit
