BFR Fretless StingRay Anthracite Review

It’s finally here! The review of the Anthracite Stingray that I’ve been playing for the last few weeks, courtesy of Jeff once again!

I hope you enjoy.

Links below to my research and other things, as well as affiliate links!

All audio recorded through an SSL12 into Logic Pro. No processing other than a mastering plugin to increase and match volume were used.

The effects were created using a Line6 StompXL.
