(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 the specifications changed around 1980.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis particular model is a 1978 model.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth the neck date and neck pocket are marked \"1978.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is an engraving on the bass pocket that reads \"1377841.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on this, we determined it was manufactured in 1978.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe body is likely ash.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConsidering the color, there's a high possibility it's a different wood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe neck and fretboard are maple.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's a beautifully crafted one-piece construction with no glued joints.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has been refretted, and the neck is currently in excellent condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause we performed the refretting, there is ample room in both the tightening and loosening directions of the truss rod. However, due to the processing of the rod nut, it requires considerable force, so we haven't been able to confirm the exact amount of adjustment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease understand this beforehand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pickups and preamp are original.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKey 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has a more woody, low-end sound compared to models with 4-knob preamps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, this is only in comparison; when viewed alone, boosting with the preamp produces a powerful, punchy sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoosting the lows results in a punchier sound, while boosting the treble creates a more flamboyant and attack-oriented sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis particular instrument appears to be in relatively good condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's also recommended for those concerned about the remaining fret and truss rod length.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is one of those fascinating vintage basses that continues to be talked about today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe frets have approximately 95% remaining.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe refretted this bass, so there is room for adjustment in both the tightening and loosening directions of the truss rod. However, due to the processing of the rod nut, it requires considerable force, so we haven't been able to confirm the exact adjustment range.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe neck is in good condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe body and paint surface show some dents and scratches. There is some paint cracking near the joint.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe electronics are in good condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRefretting and nut replacement have been performed.
