The Retro ‘70s StingRay bass honors Music Man's American craftsmanship of the 1970s with an abundance of vintage-inspired features. The finishes 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, and an alnico-loaded humbucking pickup. Overall, this vintage-inspired instrument exudes that 1970s tone and feel while combining the greatest qualities of traditional craftsmanship with contemporary playability and dependability.
Features
- Gloss Polyester Finish - Ash body with a polyester finish
- Vintage Style Alnico Pickup - Humbucking pickup with longer alnico 5 magnets wound with original single poly-nylon wire.
