Ernie Ball Music Man

collapse expand iconDescription

The Retro ’70s StingRay electric bass guitar from Ernie Ball Music Man honors the American craftsmanship of the 1970s with an abundance of classic-inspired features. 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. 

A case is sold separately.

    Both Bass and Treble EQ are Boost and Cut both Chic and Queen song has been highly processed before anyone actually hears it and then depends on Audio System or Headphones used a reference and Bass Rig player has. May take some work to find exact tone with your own resources.

    I ordered online and got a great deal. I had watched all of the videos I could find on it. I thought it would imitate exactly the old school 1970's pre-EB Stingrays. It was not close. The volume and both tone knobs did not feel solid like the Stingray Specials did. They felt loose or something. There is no central detent (They don't cut but just increase - which is what the vintage ones did). I could not figure out how to get the "Another One Bites the Dust" or Chic sound. Maybe you will like it. If you don't, returns are fotunately easy.
