Musicman started as Leo Fender's second brand and captivated many musicians with its innovative designs.
The Stingray Bass is one of the brand's most famous models.
Many artists, including Louis Johnson and Flea, have used Stingray basses.
The specifications of Stingray basses before and after the acquisition of Music Man by Erni Ball were different, and the models before the acquisition were given special treatment as “Pre Ernie” basses.
The Stingray was introduced in 1976, and the specifications were changed roughly in 1980.
This particular guitar was manufactured in 1977 and can be said to be one of the first.
Both the neck date and neck pocket are marked 1977.
The major features include a body without contouring, a 3-knob circuit, a 3-point stopper joint, and a back-through bridge.
It has a woodier, more lo-fi sound than the 4-knob era models with preamps.
However, that is only by comparison, and on its own, it can sound crunchy and powerful when boosted with a preamp.
The neck, made of maple, is one-piece with no lamination, and is beautifully crafted.
The frets are approximately 70% full.
The truss rod is in good working order.
The neck is slightly high, but can be adjusted from 2.5mm on the G string side to 3.0mm on the E string side without any problem.
The body and paintwork are in good condition, with some small dents and weather checks, and the paintwork has some age spots and stains, so please check the photos.
