Since the mid 1970's, Music Man have created some of the most interesting and forward thinking electric guitars, basses and amplifiers on the market. Originally started by Tom Whittaker & Forrest White of Fender fame, and later including Leo Fender himself, Music Man has catered to the ever changing needs of guitar players across a range of genres for over 40 years. This 1989 Stingray is a great example of Music Man bass from the early years of the Ernie Ball ownership period. Loosely based around the style of a Precision Bass, this Stingray features a more ergonomically contoured Alder body with a Maple neck. The body is fitted with the typical Music Man humbucker pickup, along with an active pre amp circuit that gives the Stingray its signature punchy sound. The bridge also features the later top loading string design, as opposed to string-through body. This guitar is in very good condition. There is some lacquer checking and play wear across the front and back of the body and back of the neck, as can be seen in the pictures, but otherwise this bass guitar is internally and externally original.
This guitar has been given a full service and appraisal by our luthiers at the Vintage Instrument Workshop, and includes a 3 year warranty.
