History
Designed by Leo Fender, Tom Walker, and Sterling Ball, the StingRay bass appeared in 1976 and, though somewhat similar to a Fender Precision Bass, had a number of distinctive features. It employed a Humbucking pickup) and an active pre-amp powered by a 9-volt battery. The early iterations of this preamp came with a 2-band EQ (bass and treble); this range was later augmented by the optional addition of a third band (bass, midrange, and treble) model. Piezo pickups located in the bridge saddles became an option with the 3-band version. It also had the distinctive "3+1" headstock (on which three tuning machines are situated on the top and one on the bottom).
