Music Man StingRay Bass

Solid-body electric bass model family

Introduced in 1976 by Leo Fender's post-Fender company, the StingRay was among the first production basses with active electronics. Its large humbucking pickup and powerful onboard equalizer produce a punchy, scooped tone that became a standard for funk, rock, and slap playing.
