USED MUSIC MAN / Stingray 1977 Natural [12]

We are pleased to announce the arrival of an early version of the Sting Ray Bass, made in 1977.
The neck and body date (1977) indicates that it was manufactured in the year following 1976, the first year of its release.
All the pots are dated '79, so it was probably replaced a couple of years after it was manufactured.
It is still manufactured today as a representative model of electric bass after Fender, and its influence on other brands is immeasurable.
Unlike the current model, the equalizer is 2-band, but the balance between the thick bass, punchy midrange, and bouncy treble is superb.
The neck condition is also very good, and this is a must-try for those who have never touched a Stingray before the Ernie Ball period.

Overall, there are numerous scratches and dings from years of use, and the paint is peeling from the elbow area on the top of the body due to rubbing.
The neck has been overcoated except for the head top, so we assume it has been refretted and re-nutted.
The overall topcoat is discolored and the metal parts are tarnished, giving the guitar a vintage look.
The topcoat is tarnished and the metal parts are tarnished.
