Frequently Asked Questions
The active preamp provides significantly higher output and a wider tonal palette, but relies on batteries. Passive Stingrays offer a more organic, classic Stingray tone without power needs.
Music Man typically ships rosewood fingerboards with a minimal factory finish; regular oiling will help maintain moisture and playability, preventing cracking and keeping it feeling smooth.
Graphite nuts are self-lubricating, reducing friction and improving tuning stability, especially during rapid changes in pitch and temperature.
