The Retro ’70s StingRay bass honours Music Man’s American craftsmanship of the 1970s with an abundance of classic-inspired features. The four colour 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 top coat. 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, and an Alnico-loaded humbucking pickup. Overall, this vintage-inspired instrument exudes that classic tone and feel while combining the greatest qualities of traditional craftsmanship with contemporary playability and dependability
