Few basses are as flat-out cool or have as much powerful tone as the Music Man StingRay 4-String Electric Bass Guitar. When it was introduced in 1976, it was the first bass to feature active electronics and advances such as a 6-bolt neck joint, contoured body, superior neck truss rod system, and rock-solid bridge to keep it on top of the pack. Constructed with a select hardwood body, this bass features a roasted maple neck, BFR inlay at the 12th fret, Schaller BM tuners, 3-band active EQ, and MusicMan humbucking pickup. The Roasted Maple Neck -Adds dimensional stability and resistance to temperature and humidity changes -Increases resistance to warping -Reduces density while maintaining stiffness for a lighter neck with sufficient strength -Yields a microstructure similar to naturally aged woods with lower moisture content -More resonance and less damping -Eliminates the need for hazardous chemical treatments -Vibrational testing indicates that roasted maple exhibits clearer tone with a stronger fundamental than untreated maple samples
