Our Take
The BFR Nitro StingRay Retro ’76 blends vintage attitude with modern Music Man precision.
This is a bass built for players who love the look, feel, and vibe of the classic ’70s StingRays but want the reliability and consistency of a contemporary instrument.
From the nitrocellulose finish to the period-correct styling, this Retro ’76 captures the spirit of an era when bass tone was bold, aggressive, and unapologetic. Plugged in, it delivers the unmistakable StingRay voice — tight lows, punchy mids, and that signature bite that drives a band with authority.
What sets this BFR apart is the combination of limited-run craftsmanship and modern playability. It feels broken-in and familiar from the first note, yet responds with the clarity and stability today’s players expect on stage and in the studio.
This is the kind of bass that invites you to dig in — perfect for funk, rock, pop, and any style where the bass needs to stand front and center in the mix.
If you’re chasing vintage StingRay vibe with boutique-level build quality, this BFR Nitro Retro ’76 delivers in every way.
