Our Take
Early ’80s Music Man StingRays are the stuff of legend, and finding one this clean, original, and well-preserved is getting harder every year.
This 1982 example captures everything that made the pre-EB StingRays iconic — raw punch, massive low end, and a growl that defined countless records.
Built during the era many players consider the golden age of StingRay production, this bass delivers a feel and tone that modern instruments still chase. The neck profile, response, and resonance all speak to a time when these basses were built to be working tools for serious musicians.
What makes this one truly special is its condition. Being all original and in mint shape, it’s rare to find a vintage StingRay that hasn’t been heavily modified or worn down. This one offers the best of both worlds: collector-grade appeal and a tone that begs to be played.
Plug it in and you’re rewarded with unmistakable authority — deep, solid lows, a snarling midrange, and that classic StingRay bite that cuts through any mix without effort.
If you’ve been waiting for a true vintage StingRay that delivers both history and performance, this 1982 is the real deal.
This 1982 Musicman stingray bass is in excellent condition with original case. Plays and sounds great. Comes with OHSC
