A short-run model, this StingRay features a gloss White finish with an uncommon matching 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, solitary bridge humbucker, and active EQ (the first production four-string bass to do so).\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWeighing 9lbs 13oz, this bass features an ash body and a maple neck capped by a rosewood fretboard, 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 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: Maple\u003cbr\u003e\n-Shape: Slender C, measuring .825” 1st fret, .925” 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)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Tuners: Music Man-branded\u003cbr\u003e\n-Factory Markings: Neck heel pencil-dated February 26, 2003, neck pocket dated January 28, 2003\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-Controls: Volume, Treble, Mid, Bass EQ (boost\/cut center-detent)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Hardware: Four-saddle string-through bridge, dome-top knurled knobs, control plate\u003cbr\u003e\n-Plastics: Three-ply white pickguard (replacement)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Serialization: Six-digit E-prefix serial dates to February 27, 2003\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe gloss White finish is very clean and bright, with faint yellowing in the clear coat and a subtle rectangular “tan line” from a previously removed sticker central to the back.
