The Altitude Summary
Originally launched in 1976, the Music Man StingRay set a new standard for electric basses—and this vintage-style reissue proudly revives that legacy. Designed with meticulous attention to the original pre-Ernie Ball StingRay specifications, this instrument blends authentic vintage appointments with modern reliability and build quality. From its ash body and polyester gloss finish to the Alnico-loaded humbucker and hand-wired 2-band preamp, this StingRay is all about punchy tone, old-school vibe, and uncompromising performance.
Vintage Polyester Gloss Finish
Crafted from premium ash and finished in high-gloss polyester, the body delivers classic StingRay aesthetics with excellent durability, resonance, and stage-ready presence.
Original-Style Alnico V Humbucker
This reissue features a period-correct humbucker built with extended Alnico V magnets and poly-nylon wire, recreating the iconic StingRay tone—tight low end, vocal mids, and rich harmonic clarity.
Upgraded Humbucking Tone
The pickup’s enhanced construction delivers powerful low-end punch with articulate definition, offering the warmth of vintage tone with modern clarity for today's players.
Gold Vintage Music Man Decal
A faithful nod to the original design, this bass sports a genuine 1970s-style gold Music Man headstock decal for added vintage authenticity.
Pre-Ernie Ball Bullet Truss Rod
The bullet-style truss rod not only reinforces the vintage character of this reissue but allows precise adjustment for optimal neck relief and playability.
3-Bolt Neck Joint with Micro-Tilt
The chrome 3-bolt neck plate features a micro-tilt adjustment for easy and accurate neck angle tweaks—ensuring rock-solid sustain and alignment with no need for shims.
Vintage-Correct StingRay Bridge
Stainless steel saddles and integrated rubber mute pads make this bridge a true reproduction of the original StingRay design—perfect for achieving era-specific tone and feel.
Hand-Wired 2-Band Preamp
Loaded with ceramic disc capacitors and premium hand-soldered components, the 2-band EQ delivers smooth, musical tone shaping with dynamic responsiveness and unmistakable StingRay character.
