1978 Music Man Stringray Sunburst B00 Serial Number

Here's a 1978 Music Man Sting Ray Bass in Sunburst finish. Early B00, pre-Ernie Ball serial number example! Pots date to '77, neck date is October 1977, with the neck dating to February 1978. The bass was originally special ordered to be fretless. After the owner got it, he quickly realized fretless wasn't for him, but loved the feel of the neck. So he sent it back to the factory to be fretted. Music Man only made a hand full of fretless maple necks in the early years back then, so the neck is actually super rare. The fret marker dots are lined up with the frets, since it was originally fretless. Playability is exceptional, with buttery low action down the neck. Feels great! There's a few small parts along the edges of the body where the finish was touched up. This was also done by the original owner to keep it looking clean! And it's only on the dark parts of the finish. There was also a 2nd string tree below the E tuner (for the E and A strings), but that's been removed. The bass sounds fantastic! All the electronics function perfect. These early Stingray's sound so good, and this is another great example of that. This beauty is ready to go. HSC...
