Exceptional and highly collectible 1989 Music Man StingRay 5 in the ultra-rare Olympic White finish — only the second year of StingRay 5 production.
This is a completely original example and one of the finest vintage StingRay 5s you will find. Features a stunning figured maple neck with beautiful birdseye maple (“birdseye” / “pawie oko”) throughout. A true holy grail configuration for collectors and serious players.
The bass has everything that made the early pre-EB-era and early EB StingRays legendary:
- huge punch,
- deep low end,
- aggressive mids,
- incredible clarity,
- and that unmistakable vintage StingRay attack.
Specifications:
- Music Man StingRay 5
- Year: 1989
- Original Olympic White finish
- Figured Birdseye Maple neck
- 5-string
- Original electronics
- Original hardware
- Made in USA
- Fully original example
Condition:
Excellent vintage condition with only light signs of careful use. Extremely clean for its age. Neck is straight, truss rod works perfectly, and the bass plays effortlessly with great action and resonance.
A rare opportunity to own one of the earliest StingRay 5 basses ever produced in one of the most desirable finishes and specifications. Truly collector-grade and increasingly difficult to find — especially in Olympic White with a birdseye maple neck.
Manufactured: October 26th, 1989
