Music Man
The EB Music Man StingRay5 HH was the five-string, two pickup version introduced in 2005 as an extension of the classic StingRay bass, itself first appearing in 1976. These solid, well built and versatile 5-string basses became very popular and have been relied on by professional basses.
Built during 2001, this Ernie Ball Music Man Axis Sport HH Tremolo features a sunburst finish with matching headstock. The Axis line was introduced in 1996 as a double-cutaway offset solidbody of a Maple cap on Basswood. It is equipped with the Floyd Rose double locking trem system.

Music Man was formed in 1974, having first been named Tri-Sonix in 1971 and then MusiTek. It was a partnership between electronics designer Tom Walker and former Fender executive Forrest White with Leo Fender as a silent partner – until 1975, Leo was still bound to a non-compete clause in his sale of Fender to CBS.

It has two features that Leo Fender had introduced just before selling Fender to CBS – the truss rod located at the head, and the three-bolt Micro Tilt adjustment.
