MUSIC MAN StingRay 5 Special - Firemist Silver 2020 Model, Approx. 4.022kg Weight This is a lightweight 5-string bass.
It features a select hardwood body, roasted maple neck, maple fingerboard, and an 18V 3-band EQ active preamp. Despite being a single-pickup model, the selector switch allows for a wide range of sound shaping.
Being a relatively recent model, it shows minimal signs of use and is in beautiful condition. The Firemist Silver color is rarely seen on the used market and has a great look.
A black pearloid pickguard is included as a bonus (though it's unclear if it's made by MUSIC MAN). Replacing it is a bit of a hassle, but it's fun to swap it out depending on your mood.
The strings have been replaced with 45-125 gauge strings, and the neck, string height, and octave have been adjusted. The string height is set at approximately 2.8mm at the 12th fret of the 5th string, 2.4mm at the 12th fret of the 4th string, and 2.0mm at the 12th fret of the 1st string.
There is no noticeable buzzing or dead spots. The neck has been adjusted to be almost straight, and the truss rod has been checked to ensure there is still plenty of adjustment range in both directions, so future adjustments can be done with confidence.
There was a slight variation in fret height, so the frets have been leveled. It was not a major leveling, so approximately 70-80% of the fret life remains after the work.
The electronics are in good condition with no noticeable noise or crackling. The two 9V batteries have been replaced with new ones.
The exterior is in beautiful condition with no major noticeable damage. There is a faint sticker mark (sun fading) on the back of the body.
It is not very noticeable, but the mark is visible depending on the lighting. There are also some minor scratches and wear from playing.
The frets, body and neck paintwork, and hardware parts have been thoroughly cleaned with a specialized cleaner.
There is some remaining tarnish on the bridge, tuning pegs, and neck set plate.
