  • Music Man Retro 70's Stingray 4 Black

The Retro ‘70s StingRay bass honors Music Man's American craftsmanship of the 1970s with an abundance of vintage-inspired features. The four color options available on the StingRay retro edition—black, white, vintage sunburst, and heritage natural—replicate the look and feel of Music Man's flagship 4-string bass and are each finished with a gloss polyester topcoat. This throwback edition bass is a faithful reproduction of the StingRay's original specifications, with a 21-fret 3-bolt maple neck with micro-tilt adjustment, bullet truss rod adjustment, a strings-through-the-body bridge with adjustable mute pads, an alnico V -loaded humbucking pickup wired in parallel with poly-nylon wire plus Boost only Bass and Treble controls.

Overall, this vintage-inspired instrument exudes that 1970s tone and feel while combining the greatest qualities of traditional craftsmanship with contemporary playability and dependability.

Wood selection is of course the same as on those vintage basses: ash for the body and maple for the neck and fingerboard. A classic recipe that delivers!

To sum up, a bass made in 2024 but with some really cool features from the original basses from the 70's which are considered by many players as THE Sting Ray.

Some advantages of the new Retro basses compared with the vintage Sting Rays are:

 

- Better truss rod (stronger)

 

- Lower noise and way less battery drain from the electronics

- Lightweigh
