The Story

1980 Music Man StingRay Fretless Bass Natural

This is a vintage Music Man StingRay 4-string fretless bass with a natural finish over the ash body - built in 1980. The bass is in overall very good shape; there's wear around the body, the hardware is tarnished even after polishing, the string mutes are worn down but still functional. All electronics work as they should! There's a small crack on the bottom of the fretboard but does not seem to be spreading. There's light orange peel on the back of the body, possibly from sitting in the case for long periods of time. It's a great playing instrument and an excellent addition for Music Man collectors. It is strung up with flatwounds currently.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case
