I like how they adjusted the Bass, Mid, and Treble controls while the musician was playing. It helped with noticing the changes vs. stopping and then starting, since it was mid-flight. Nice.

2:00 - deliver unto me THAT TONE!!

@vyladence 3 года назад

yes! that tone is what we in the biz call *raunchy*

I may have a problem. I own 3 of these new Stingrays. They’re amazing. My son is worried I’m gonna buy every finish

@mouthmw 5 лет назад

Man, at least grab one of the 2 band preamp ones!

@MichaelJordan-hn4zd 5 лет назад

Do you think it would be the only bass a person needs? If you only had 1 bass?

@mouthmw 5 лет назад

Michael Jordan you can get a lot out of one tonally. Especially the HH model, could pretty much cover anything. I personally can’t be without a P bass, and having a Stingray (single H, 2 band) along with it is all I need. I love their characteristic tone and don’t really look at them as “swiss army knife” basses. They can both do pretty much anything though.

@alexdattel2757 5 лет назад

Got an hh aqua sparkle 5 string. If I had the cash I'd gladly go out and get a cruz teal, a burnt apple and a charging green also. I'm sorta glad I can't afford that anyway XD

I recently upgraded my Sterling by Music Man Ray 35 to a StingRay 5 H Special!!!! The improvements Ernie Ball made take this great bass to another level and the lighter weight is a Godsend!!!

@nicolas.grisanti 5 лет назад

They really sound amazing! Great job from Musicman

@eyeofbass 5 лет назад

What's impressive is the completeness of thought that went into re-engineering their legacy design. A bold move that has paid off. I love everything about the new models, however, the cost may be a barrier for some time. It is what it is, but at least I have a favorite for future consideration.

@RuleofThump 5 лет назад

Sounds amazing and great playing by Lars as always!

@bassbastard650 5 лет назад

Still love the old Stingrays. I have a black HH maple board & BFR roasted neck rosewood board. Me personally I love a heavier bass. But I think I would have to try a new one. Great review I like your reviews they are so informative.

@Jackal_Blitz 5 лет назад

Good for them! I always wanted to like Stingrays more than I really did, but the weight and neck dive were kind of turn offs for me. I'll definitely keep an eye out for one of these!

@haydentaylor3658 5 лет назад

great job guys, awesome video. more people should do videos like this. you got a new sub too.

@StrayLion 5 лет назад

I just ordered one yesterday. I have yet to hear anyone say anything "to the credit of the old design" in comparison to these new ones. Cruz Teal is my lifeblooood.

@axe-z8316 5 лет назад

much better neck, good job MM ! been on mine for 22 years, This is the first time I'm tempted to move on... That insane agressive sound, Leo was a genius, hard to change something not broken. Gutsy. But upper neck access is needed theses days. So pumped !

@pentastarr666 9 месяцев назад

Bought the ruby satin the second I saw it! I just so happen to have wanted a Stingray for many years and I was watched/listining to Louis Johnson the night before. The RAY4 was discounted to $250 . My sails dude told me about the $50 off because it was a floor model(waiting for me). My dude said she might have some scratches or dings. NOPE! Perfection! Her name is “Ruby Tuesday”😎🤘🏼

@vassili87 4 года назад

For the longest time I thought I liked the StingRay Classic the most. Then they released this series and now I'm thinking about the Special HH. I think they fits my style better. I'm not a slap guy.

Love all the new features but for me the price is through the roof nowadays. Four years ago I managed to snag one of the last new 133 series USA 2EQ StingRays for £1k. These Specials are more than twice that.

@Eishaar 5 лет назад

I was wondering about the durability of the aluminum hardware... It's a rather soft metal, will it serve long enough? Especially the bridge. Does it feel solid and reliable?

@pillepalle3614 4 года назад

‚It wökt wöwi wöwi wäll‘ 😂😂😂 I got a HH aqua sparkle and a stingray 5 from 2003. Very different instruments. The old guy is really heavy andt the overall playabillity is not as good as the new guy. When it comes to sound, they are also completely different, but it‘s hard to describe the difference. Both sound great for sure.

@drezy5337 4 года назад

Only thing I don't like about the new Stingray is the bridge, everything else is great. I think the bridge on the previous model is the best one, even better than the classic bridge, IMO.

@Meypelnek 5 лет назад

Don't get me wrong: I love EBMM basses and I am lucky enough to have 4 of them at home. However, I have been wondering if this thermo treatment of the wood (and again: two of my EBMM basses have roasted necks) is not just a smart and overall cheaper way of getting the wood dried instead of storing it for years and years.

@basstheworldofficial 5 лет назад

You still have to dry it in prior like a normal maple neck.

Hello, thanks for the review! Is the HH version fully "slappable" or is this extra fret reducing too much the space to be able to slap correctly? Thanks!

@dbass9767 4 года назад

@tonybp 5 лет назад

I want a bass with low action and with low string tension at standard tuning, every bass I've tried at the music store has high action and really tight string tension... I'm starting to think it's me, any suggestions and recomendations?

@basstheworldofficial 5 лет назад

I suggest the music store doesn’t do good setups. Maybe it’s you, maybe it’s them. This sounds like the beginning of an Ed Sheeran song

@evenseb7574 4 года назад

I agree, there is too many unplayable good basses hanging around in the music shops! Bring an unbraco (hex key?) nxt time. Or ask them to lower the strings for you? Done in some seconds..

They kind of sound thinner, or is it just me? Loss of mass isn't always good for tonal considerations. Also, they look cheaper, despite the price tag.

@joerobot32 5 лет назад

@@edchaos2679 I finally tried one in-store. I've owned a StingRay since 2003 and it is one of my favourite basses. The build quality and reliability (except the output jacks, which always sucked) are on par with my custom shop fender jazz. The new StingRay severely disappointed me, with all the hype. It doesn't feel like a StingRay. They even cheaped out on the pickup cover. Roasted maple is such a gimmick, crappier maple going through a mock aging process. I haven't looked at mussicman instruments seriously since Sterling Ball took over and brought that stupid bongo bass.
