Yet this 1976 Musicman StingRay, formerly owned by Cliff Williams, has done exactly that. It was the third in the rack, and it has certainly been played hard!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>When he joined AC\/DC in 1977, Cliff Williams played a Fender Precision, perfectly suited to his powerful, pick-driven style. Meanwhile, the Californian brand Music Man, also founded by Leo Fender, had launched the StingRay bass \u2014 keeping the simplicity of the P Bass but adding higher output and extra punch, ideal for the evolving rock sound of the time.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Cliff adopted the StingRay permanently in 1979, on the tour following *Highway To Hell*. A sunburst version shows its wear in the film *Let There Be Rock*, recorded in Paris late 1979. That same bass appears in *Live At The River Plate* in 2011 and continued through the *Rock Or Bust* World Tour ending in 2016. Over 37 years, Cliff owned only five StingRays. This one, number 3, shows extensive wear, a testament to the stadiums it has shaken. Few basses can claim such a legacy!<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Find this bass in our shop: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.matts-guitar-shop.com\/en\/produit\/cliff-williams-1976-music-man-stingray\/\">Cliff Williams\u2019 1976 Music Man StingRay<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;3_5,2_5&#8243; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.matts-guitar-shop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/basse-musicman-cliff-williams-02.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;The instruments that shaped rock: Cliff Williams\u2019 Musicman bass and AC\/DC stadiums&#8221; title_text=&#8221;basse-musicman-cliff-williams-02&#8243; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.matts-guitar-shop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/basse-musicman-cliff-williams-03.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Cliff Williams\u2019 Musicman bass&#8221; title_text=&#8221;basse-musicman-cliff-williams-03&#8243; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;15px||||false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjIwNiJ9fQ==@&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Back to all news&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.2&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=&#8221;button_url&#8221; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; button_border_width=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_border_radius=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_icon=&#8221;&#xf0c5;||fa||400&#8243; button_on_hover=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;7px|36px|7px|20px|true|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since 1979, Cliff Williams\u2019 Musicman StingRay bass has rocked stadiums with AC\/DC.
