Refinished in a semi-gloss nitro lacquer (body) and a higher gloss lacquer on the neck, this Music Man retains its original finish on the headstock.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAs the next landmark company founded by Leo Fender and George Fullerton after the sale of Fender Musical Instruments, Music Man offered an opportunity for this dynamic duo to further refine and build upon Fender's various innovations. Arguably the crown jewel of the Music Man lineup, the StingRay bass has remained largely the same since its introduction in ‘76, featuring the now iconic oval pickguard, bridge position humbucker, and active EQ (the first production four-string bass to do so).\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWeighing 8lbs 9oz, this bass features an ash body and a figured one-piece birdseye maple neck and fingerboard, yielding a punchy, broad acoustic quality with great treble detail and midrange push. The original “8 Magnet Special Design” alnico humbucker offers growl and thick, round thump, with a wide array of tonalities achievable via the active preamp and Treble\/Bass EQ knobs. This StingRay 4H 3EQ benefits from a professional setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Birdseye maple\u003cbr\u003e\n-Shape: Medium C, measuring .840” 1st fret, .940” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e\n-Fretboard: Rosewood, 11” radius, dot inlay\u003cbr\u003e\n-Frets: Medium jumbo, no wear\u003cbr\u003e\n-Scale Length: 34”\u003cbr\u003e\n-Nut: 1.650” (42mm), bone replacement\u003cbr\u003e\n-Tuners: Music Man-branded\u003cbr\u003e\n-Factory Markings: Neck heel dated January 3, 1990, pocket dated December 9, 1989\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Ash\u003cbr\u003e\n-Pickups: 8 Magnet Special Design Alnico humbucker\u003cbr\u003e\n-Harness: CTS pots date to 36th and 39th weeks of 1989\u003cbr\u003e\n-Controls: Volume, Treble, Mid, Bass EQ (boost\/cut center-detent)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Hardware: Four-saddle string-through Music Man bridge with adjustable mutes, dome-top knurled volume\/EQ knobs, control plate, battery cover\u003cbr\u003e\n-Plastics: Three-ply black pickguard, pickup cover\u003cbr\u003e\n-Serialization: Five-digit serial stamped on bridge dates production to January 23, 1990\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe gloss Natural finish on the body is very clean, professionally refinished long ago in a thin lacquer.
