The Music Man StingRay 40th Anniversary "Old Smoothie" bass is everything that has made this design such a classic.Music Man StingRay 40th Anniversary "Old Smoothie" Bass Guitar at a Glance:Born from the original design Smooth sound of a vintage StingRay Old-school construction Born from the original designMusic Man's StingRay 40th Anniversary "Old Smoothie" electric bass is built to be an exact re-creation of a prototype of what would become one of the most in-demand bass guitar designs in modern history. All of the StingRay's rounded lines, 3 x 1 tuner configuration, and egg-shaped pickguard are on full display. And the classic pairing of the alder body and 1-piece maple neck with rear-mounted truss rod help deliver the sound and feel that so many bassists have adopted as their own. Smooth sound of a vintage StingRayThe sound of the StingRay 40th Anniversary is the tone that launched modern bass design. The custom active 2-band preamp in "Old Smoothie" delivers the warm and clear tones that turned the world on its ear as the first production bass with an active circuit. The unique 10-pole piece humbucking pickup from the prototype has been re-created for this 40th anniversary model, further contributing to the full and warm sound of this 4-string bass. Old-school constructionEven the old-school feel of a great vintage StingRay has been re-created on the StingRay 40th Anniversary "Old Smoothie." Built to the same construction specs as the #27 prototype, this bass boasts appointments such as a natural aged yellow tint maple neck, and the bass's bridge carries the same stainless steel saddles as the originals. And individually adjustable string mutes deliver low-end thump that works great on blues and jazz gigs.
