Musicman StingRay Old Smoothie Butterscotch 2017 – Pre-Owned

The Music Man StingRay Old Smoothie Butterscotch 2017 is a stunning tribute to the iconic StingRay bass, blending vintage aesthetics with modern precision. Featuring a contoured ash body in a rich butterscotch finish, it exudes retro charm while retaining the ergonomic design of the classic StingRay. The maple neck with a satin finish offers smooth playability, and its maple fingerboard with 21 frets delivers a bright tonal character. A distinctive white pickguard complements the finish, enhancing its timeless appeal.

Equipped with a specially designed humbucking pickup, positioned slightly closer to the bridge than standard models, the Old Smoothie delivers warm and smooth tones that earned it its nickname. Its 2-band active EQ system provides precise control over bass and treble frequencies, making it versatile for genres like funk, rock, and pop. The hardened steel bridge with adjustable saddles ensures excellent intonation and sustain, while Schaller BM tuners offer reliable tuning stability.

This model pays homage to a 1970s prototype designed by Leo Fender, capturing its vintage essence while incorporating modern craftsmanship for enhanced playability and reliability. The 2017 Butterscotch edition is a perfect blend of historical significance and high-quality performance, appealing to both collectors and professional musicians.
