Retro '70s StingRay Bass Logo

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, 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.

The Original

Honoring Music Man's American Craftsmanship of the 1970's with an abundance of vintage-inspired features.

Bullet truss rod

Original pre-EB StingRay bullet truss rod adjustment for proper neck action.

3-bolt neckplate with micro-tilt adjustment

A 3-bolt chrome-plated neck attachment with micro-tilt provides neck angle adjustment without the need for shims. Firm neck and neck pocket tolerances ensure a tight fit with no shifting.

Strings through the body bridge

String-through body bridge with stainless steel saddles replicates the early StingRay design. The original rubber mute pads have been added for a desired muted tone on demand.

Micropowered preamp

The 2-eq preamp is a hand-soldered circuit board constructed with high-quality components using vintage-correct ceramic disc capacitors.
