A Stingray from the Pre-Ernie era has arrived!!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nLeo Fender, the creator of “Fender,” the original electric bass. Although Leo Fender stepped back from the front lines in 1970, he later launched MusicMan as a new brand in 1972. The StingRay was released in 1976.\u003cbr\u003e \nThis is a StingRay from the “Pre-Ernie” era, before the company was acquired by Ernie Ball.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nIn terms of condition, while the frets and nut have been replaced, the major parts have been preserved in their original state.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe fingerboard was refinished as part of the fret replacement.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe pickup pole pieces are short, and the preamp is the original molded unit from that era.\u003cbr\u003e \nThere are traces of a finger rest that was added to the 4th string side of the pickup.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe mute sponge has melted. The battery snap has been replaced.\u003cbr\u003e \nThere are two marks on the headstock top where a sticker—presumably bearing the previous owner’s name—was once affixed.

Additionally, there are marks under the pickguard where a sticker appears to have been attached.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe truss rod is on the stiff side and the neck is slightly arched, but it is currently set up to standard string height and presents no issues for playing.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nPOT DATE: 137-7841 x2, XXX-7839\u003cbr\u003e \nNECK DATE: JAN 12 1979\u003cbr\u003e \nBODY DATE: JAN XX 1979\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nCondition Grade: B+: Some minor scratches, but no issues for normal use\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nSerial Number: B010842\u003cbr\u003e \nYear of Manufacture: 1979\u003cbr\u003e \nCountry of Manufacture: United States\u003cbr\u003e \nCase: Genuine hard case\u003cbr\u003e \nWeight: 4.56 kg\u003cbr\u003e \nTruss Rod: Note: Tested up to 60 degrees to the left and right with no issues (some play remaining)\u003cbr\u003e \nFret Wear: No issues\u003cbr\u003e \nScale: 864 mm (34\")\u003cbr\u003e \nModifications: Nut, frets, battery snap\u003cbr\u003e \nRepairs and Maintenance: Cleaning, string replacement, truss rod adjustment, octave adjustment, action adjustment\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* As this is a used item, there may be scratches, dents, or other imperfections that are not clearly visible in the photos or not listed here.
