(Titles omitted)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Stingray is a classic model that enjoys overwhelming popularity within the brand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlongside Fender's Jazz Bass and Precision Bass, it's safe to say it's one of the most popular basses in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Stingray was introduced in 1976, and its specifications changed around 1980.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis particular instrument was manufactured in 1982 and features the transitional specifications of the 1980s and later models, including a four-bolt neck joint.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe volume pot date is 1378108, the treble pot date is 1378226, and the bass pot date is 13780089.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on the above, we determined it was manufactured in 1982.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePre-Ernie basses are characterized by a body without contouring, a 3-knob circuit, a 3-bolt neck joint, and a string-through-body bridge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis particular model, manufactured after the 1980s, features a 4-bolt neck joint and a string-through-body bridge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has a woodier, more bass-heavy sound than models with 4-knob preamps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, this is only in comparison; when viewed alone, boosting the preamp produces a powerful, punchy sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoosting the bass gives it a punchy sound, while boosting the treble results in a more flamboyant, attack-oriented sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe maple neck is a beautifully crafted one-piece construction without any joints.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's a truly attractive vintage bass.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese specifications are somewhat niche, so if you're looking for one, please give it a try.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe frets have approximately 90% remaining.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe truss rod is stiff, but we've confirmed it moves about 90 degrees.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe neck shows a slight upward bow. Currently, it's playable within the GIB standard of 2.0mm-2.5mm at the 12th fret. Two shims are installed (one covering the entire neck pocket).\u003cbr\u003eThe body and paintwork have numerous scratches and dents, showing wear commensurate with its age.\u003cbr\u003eThe electronics are in good condition.\u003cbr\u003eThe guitar has been refretted, re-nutted, and the fretboard refinished.\u003cbr\u003eControls: Volume, Treble, Bass\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 42.6mm\u003cbr\u003eBridge String Spacing: 19.0mm\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 34 Inch\u003cbr\u003eYear of Manufacture: 1982\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Manufacture: USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring setup, SIT Strings, favored by many professional artists, were used.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey are characterized by stable tuning and a powerful, three-dimensional sound.
