Fret your grooves in style and slap/pop like there’s no tomorrow — this axe can handle anything you can throw at it. Aspects like the 3+1 tuner headstock, separate pickguard and control plate, and StingRay body shape remain the same, but you’ll also find retro features like a 3-bolt neck plate and Pre-EB Geometry Music Man chrome-plated steel bridge plate with vintage stainless steel saddles. You can even undertake further tonal experiments by utilizing the bridge mutes! Schaller bass tuners and luxurious chrome hardware complete the Retro ’70s StingRay.Emulating the groundbreaking ’70s StingRays Funk, rock, slap — each of these genres and more are indebted to the StingRay for stamping its mark upon them. You’ll find that same warm tonal power and massive output harnessed within the confines of the vintage-style alnico humbucker in the Retro ’70s StingRay. Ernie Ball Music Man crafted the pickup for this StingRay using long Alnico V magnets wound with original single poly-nylon wire. This configuration cultivates the classic tone heard on countless hits of the ’70s and beyond. Mirroring its groundbreaking 1976 predecessor, the Retro ’70s StingRay offers an active 2-band EQ for fine-tuning your tone to suit any genre.Loaded with StingRay style, sound, and innovation The StingRay Special, like the rest of Ernie Ball Music Man's StingRay bass lineup, claims roots that run back to the 1970s, when Ernie Ball Music Man was founded. Armed with a fat and punchy sound, active electronics, and a delightfully chunky neck, it's no wonder the StingRay became a standard for such bass players as Guy Pratt, Cliff Williams, and Flea. Finally, this StingRay is outfitted with a maple fingerboard for a smooth, fast feel and added sonic attack.Ernie Ball Music Man Retro '70s StingRay Bass Guitar Features: A modern-day StingRay that brings back all the tonal power and groundbreaking mojo of the original '70s StingRays Period-correct non-contoured slab ash body Comfortable maple neck with "D" shape Maple fingerboard with 7.5-inch radius and 21 nickel silver frets Classic retro features like 3-bolt neck plate, bridge mutes, and 2-band active EQ Pre-EB Geometry Music Man chrome-plated steel bridge plate with vintage stainless steel saddles 1 vintage-style Alnico 5 magnet humbucker pumps out powerful sound and soulful tone Finished off with chrome hardware for a look that kills SpecificationDetail Number of Strings 4 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Shape StingRay Body Material Ash Color White Neck Material Maple Neck Shape D Neck Joint 3-way Bolt-on Radius 7.5" Fingerboard Material Maple Fingerboard Inlay 5/16" Dot Number of Frets 21, Nickel Silver Scale Length 34" Nut Width 1.686" Nut Material Melamine Bridge/Tailpiece Pre-EB Geometry Music Man chrome-plated steel bridge Tuners Schaller Bass Bridge Pickup Vintage style Alnico Humbucker Controls 1 x volume, 1 x treble, 1 x bass Strings Super Slinky Bass 2834, .045-.100 Case/Gig Bag Softshell Case RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
