In 22 years of playing bass he only played a Stingray once and never had the desire to do it again. Then the next time he has one his first reaction is to give it away. I have to think Scott doesn't like these.

@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney 4 года назад

There's no way he could have a problem with Music Man quality and playability, so I can assume the tones just aren't for him. I hope he tries a Sterling one day (not the import budget line, the US bass model), Stingrays are relatively limited tonally, though you can get a surprising amount of variation from them. The Sterlings have a little more powerful preamp, ceramic (vs the Stingray's AlNiCo) pickup, the all important silent single/series/parallel switch, a smaller, lighter, more comfortable for most players body, and a slimmer, faster, more Jazz Bass style neck. I like Stingrays just fine, but their neck is too big for me, they're usually very heavy, and with just that Stingray sound, you can't necessarily do just anything with them. My Sterlings, however, are super-versatile, incredibly playable and comfortable, just an evolution of the old Stingray. I own other basses, but I really wouldn't have to. They'll do it all relatively well. I don't personally believe you can buy a better mass-produced electric bass guitar.

@diaphanoux 4 года назад

@John Amato He's not. He's more into the vintage Pbass sound with flatwounds, so, go figure that one out!

@SlinkiestTortoise23 4 года назад

The sinner Jim Whitney Totally agree with you although the Squire Jazz’s from Indonesia play very well for the money. The Sterling’s build quality is superb mind and they are super versatile with a wide range of tone options but if your playing leans towards a funkier disposition then there really is no reason not to own one and dig in!

I play StingRays and here are a few features that I really like. The neck adjusting wheel makes this bass the easiest to adjust the truss rod. The pickup has a 3rd "Phantom" coil that eliminates hum. The neck has no finish and is very fast-it does not feel gummed up like finished necks do. Ernie Ball did a nice job geeking these great basses with refinements.

@Crushin123 5 лет назад

#musicmanstingray 1) Timmy C - love his tones, style and he is down to earth. 2) Flea - same reasons as above, but he was one of the first guys to experiment a bit more out of the realm 3) Scott Devine - he helps thousands of bassists daily, great player and hell, he has the same haircut as me.

#MusicmanStingray 1. Pino Palladino: His recordings with his Musicman fretless on Paul Young "Everytime You Go Away", Pete Townshend "Give Blood", David Gilmour " Murder" and Elton John " Shoot Down The Moon" show his amazing melodic aproach to the bass without stopping supporting the rhythm section, and that's something that caught my attention to deeply study his way of playing. 2. Flea: His agressive tone, speed and actittude makes the Musicman Stingray the perfect bass for Flea. When I was a teenager I love to heard his work with the Red Hot Chilli Peppers , that punchy bass that cut through the mix. Using finger or slap his sound became a classic in songs like their arrangement of "Higher Ground" by Stevie Wonder or songs like " Give it Away" , "Coffee Shop" and " Suck My Kiss" 3. Louis Johnson: His bass lines and his slap tone are one of the most legendary bassist study material to the date. His work legendary work with Michael Jackson "Off The Wall" album keeps making me wondered how did he came up with such amazing basslines!!!

Love him in Chic! #MusicmanStingray

@djjonnytravieso4681 3 года назад

I’m surprised you don’t have one. I ungraded to a EBMMSRS 5HH from a midrange Ibanez. The tone, fun, and comfort factors of the stingray inspired me to practice my way from newb to shredder in under a year. This is truly a phenomenal machine.

@jordaneasbybass 5 лет назад

Louis Johnson - His work on Michael Jackson’s Thriller is awesome. Though, my favourite Louis Johnson bass line has to be ‘Ain’t We Funkin’ now’, first track on The Brothers Johnson album, Blam! Tim Commerford - Though he has switched between the Stingway and Fender Jazz throughout his career, he is currently a playing the Stingway. His tight playing, heavy, gritty sound and serving the song really stick out to me. His back catalogue includes, Profits if Rage, Audioslave and Rage Against the Machine, which personally stands out to me. My favourite bass line has to be Guerrilla Radio. Gail Dorsey - Top session player who’s played with David Bowie, Lenny Kravitz, Brian Ferry, to name a few. Favourite bass line has to be The Next Day, by David Bowie.

@IzzyDutra 5 лет назад

#musicmanstingray 1- John Deacon (Queen) 2- Tim Commerford (RATM) 3- Flea (RHCP) I like them basically for the same reason, they all have remarkable bass lines that basically shines in their respective songs, like, 'Another one bites the dust', 'Killing in the name' and I think every RHCP song. And because they explore the active sound of the bass to bring power, you basically hear the active circuit in their playing, you can feel they're playing a stingray.

@buckemptier Год назад

You know it reaally doesnt matter who played what. These guys play whomever sponsors them . For all we know maybe Flea got tired of playing a heavy ass stingray in the early 90s , but thats who kept sending him free basses, offered to make a signature model, etc.

Tim Comerford - gotta love those heavy but controlled riffs through Rage and Audioslave …

@Brewdog2001 Год назад

I had a stingray for about 6 years and enjoyed every moment of it. I just wish that it had the additional headroom of the new one at that time. I found my particular example just needed a bit more signal to run through FOH systems and not sound weak/muddy. My next base was a Bongo HS 6 string, and I went to it for the fact that I wanted a 6 string and loved the pickups/electronics and how clean they are. I love to see EB paying some love to the bass and keeping the legend alive for the future.

#musicmanstingray 1) Louis Johnson - Get On The Floor is one of my favorite songs to play. I know it's a Michael Jackson song, but Louis Johnson did do the bassline. 2) Brian Marshall - One of my favorite bassists in rock today. I love Alter Bridge. I love the basslines in their Album Fortress, especially the song "Cry of Achilles". I still practice this song today to give my self practice for endurance and fluid motion. 3) Flea - His basslines were a combination of my favorite genres of rock and funk. To say that he hasn't inspired my own playing would be a lie. I actually really enjoy the work he did on their latest album "The Getaway". I'm currently learning how to play "Sick Love" Ideally I want to learn what I can from all three of these great players, and apply their techniques to my own playing to create my own sound.

#musicmanstingray 1) Tony Levin - my absolute #1 pick. Even though I love his work on the stick, 'thela hun ginjeet' stands out as one of my favorite King Crimson basslines, probably because it's so simple and rocks so hard. Plus the dude's just got awesome style, and he's super friendly and humble. Saw stick men live and he was super down-to-earth. Never would have known he was one the most accomplished studio musicians of all time. 2) Chi Cheng - RIP - even though he was later endorsed by fender, he used a Stingray on 'Adrenaline.' Although that album is criticised for being kind of childish angst, I still love the guitar licks and kick ass bottom end. Furthermore, for someone who wasn't known for having the best chops, Chi Cheng and his basslines will always have a special place in jamming repatoire. 3) Tim Commerford - I never saw RATM live but I did catch Prophets of Rage a couple years ago and even though I listened to so much damn Rage back in the day, I never really realized how good Tim was. He's a beast of a man and he had like 10 stingrays that night, and every one of them that he played looked like a child's toy in his hands. He just played the absolute crap out of these basses. Furthermore, I didn't know until that night he had a trio called wakrat or something. Not the best music, but still he's the lead singer and was still just beating the crap out the bass. Tim's playing just shows how much damage a Stingray can take and still stay in tune.

Cliff Williams: AC/DC is one of my favorite bands of all time, and a huge part of their sound was Cliff's bass playing, always driving the song forward and adding a steady foundation. 3. Davie504: Does he count? The most recent bass he plays on his channel is a Sterling Stingray, and we all know what he's known for. Over the past couple years, this Italian youtuber has been a big inspiration for younger generations of bass players.

@Danskits 5 лет назад

#Musicmanstingray 1) Joe Lally of Fugazi. One of my favourite bass players. He is one of those prime examples of punk bassists that never were interested in standing in front of the stage jumping around like a lunatic. He always served the song before stage presence, and rocked because of it. I feel he is kind of underrated as well, but maybe thats just me. He has some really cool bass heavy and understated solo records that I think all bass players should check out. 2) Jeff Caxide of the band ISIS. Lately ive been listening alot to so called "post-metal", which i think is a really silly genre description. I refer to it as "wine taster-metal" instead. Anyway, ISIS built some really nice soundscapes and within them the bass playing of Caxide is really warm and cosy compared to the blaring guitars. Part heavy, part light as a feather is a nice description for the band. And the bass does alot of heavy lifting in that kind of music. Love it! 3) Tim Commerford, on the first Rage Against the Machine album. He isnt necessarily one of my favourite players, but his tone on RATM's self-titled is the lone reason i bought a Music Man Sub bass a couple of years ago. Nuff said honestly. Its as Music Many a bass player could get honestly.

The RATM debut self-titled album was *seminal*, for how it sounded as well as the sheer awesomeness of the song writing. Tim used the Stingray on that album, as well as many others. 2) Bernard Edwards - who the *hell* on earth hasn't heard and loved his licks (Good Times, Le Freak...), all underpinned by the nasty-sexy sounds of his Stingray. "C'est Chic" hit the disco era like a freight train in '78, then followed by "Risqué" in '79... legendary. 3) Pino Palladino - this dude, man. If you want the very personification of "pocket" or "groove", this is your man. SOoooooooOOO many albums.... Sooooo many lovely tasty chops. "Hard Groove" by RH Factor in 2003.... "Try" by the John Mayer Trio.... I have used and *loved* my trusty OLP Stingray for 10 years as I can't afford a Musicman one. Aaaahh. That was nice to write.

#MusicmanStingray 1. Bernard Edwards’ “Good Times” was the first bass line I learned to play on a £25 knock off Jazz copy as a 15 year old back in 1980 when it was totally not the done thing for kids my colour to be playing the bass guitar. I didn't care. Now I'm ancient I've finally learned how to play it properly. 2. Pino Palladino played slap and double stops all over Gary Numan's "I, Assassin" album back when it was totally uncool to like Gary Numan. Pino's playing was impossible to copy, but it didn't stop me trying. Decades later I'm still trying. 3. John Deacon's playing on "Another One Bites the Dust" made me believe that I didn't have to be a virtuoso to groove.l when I was a kid. It sat bold and proud, up front in the mix. These players made me realise that bass playing could be melodic *and* rhythmic. I wouldn't have lived the life I have without them.

I've had my (2 band) stingray for 26 years. I got lucky with the tree it came from too, other stingray players have borrowed it to record - it manages to have a really thumpy bottom end and as much attack as you'd ever need all at once, whilst having a round tone at the center of the sound. I currently have extra thick flatwounds on it, and it still manages to growl when you need it to. Best bass I've ever played.

#musicmanstingray Brigitte Sosa- Bassist for Alejandro Sanz Marta Altesa- bassist virtuoso Gail Ann Dorsey- Session artist for many including Lenny Kravitz and David Bowie My favorite album where Brigitte colaborares is a live album for Alejandro Sanz called La Música No se Toca (En Vivo) and hands down my favorite song is Camino De Rosas. She lays down the groove in a simple but solid and constant manner throughout the entire song - so smooth. Marta Altesa is amazing. She is so fun to watch anytime her bass cover videos come up online. I can’t say I have a favorite song or video. I love them all. Perhaps if I had to choose I’d pick her Chunky by Bruno Mars Cover.

#MusicmanStingray 1. Metal music The on going joke for years have been, a cool metal bass has to be black and with a pointy shape. Coming from a musical landscape, where you as a bassist have to cut through walls of guitars and drumkits the size of a space stations, you need a strong sounding bass to start off with. The Musicman Stingray carries a lot of these features, and though there is nothing pointy about it's appearance, it does bring a massive amount of presence and bass tone to metal music. I couldn't bring out any specific album performances, but it is that trusty V8 pick-up truck kinda sound a lot of metal bassist rely on. And yes. It is heavy as hell.

#musicmanstingray 1. Kim Deal - best known as a p-bass player, she used a Stingray on the Pixies' album Bossanova and toured with it for a while, which was an interesting and admirable change. 2. Pino Palladino - has the absolute best fretless sound in my opinion, specifically on Paul Young's "I'm gonna tear your playhouse down", where also employed an octave pedal. Absolutely killer tone and groove. 3. Tony Levin - needs no explanation, honestly. Listen to his sound on Peter Gabriel's "Don't give up" with Kate Bush. Beautiful. I watch his Stingray demos just for fun sometimes. Cheers!

Lovely instrument, but I wonder why they mapped the EQ "backwards" (bass at the bridge)?

What was that EQ knob bit all about?

#musicmanstingray 1) Louis Johnson: Marvellous player, his playing has inspired me since i was 6 years old boy, His work with Quincy and Brothers Johnson is pure talent. 2)Bernard Edwards: His Tone, Style are pure Funk, always in the pocket, perfect grooves, Chic is the greatest example of that 3)Nick Fyffe: 2nd Jamiroquai's bass player, his work with them was mostly with a Musicman Stingray (Synkronized album and tour, also A Funk Odyssey) just hear the track "Falling" from Jamiroquai, the bass tone Is amazing.

The first riff from Chick Magnet, that tone always give me the chills. 3) Nikola Šarčević - Millencolin, That solid and punchy tone. Penguins & Polarbears first song i ever learned.

One thing I like about my stingray compared to any other bass I own or have played is it’s a fast bass. Like it’s designed for you to try to play as fast as you can on it.

That's almost felt like a sketch comedy. "If you won this bass what pants would you wear? Are you working? Are you working?" That's how you get peoples attention.

#musicmanstingray *Tony Levin* - Extremely innovative. Not only a great musicman player and vocalist, but kick ass at Chapman stick as well. He's played in various supergroups such as Stickmen, The Liquid Tension Experiments and Levin Minemmann Rudess (ft. Marco Minemmann and Jordan Rudess, would you belive!) as well as the FANTASTIC and innovative King Crimson, who I'm going to see live this Wednesday!! Also if you want a cool bass technique, do what Levin does and attach drumsticks to your index and middle finger on your plucking hand and try playing. I tried it... Only problem was I couldn't get through a song without my Drummer asking for his sticks back! *John Myung* - Not only does he play the MusicMan stingray, but is also one of the pioneers of the MusicMan Bongo bass. Just like Levin, an extremely talented and innovative Bassist, famous for taking influence from Jaco and being on of the pioneers of using harmonics to form chords in Metal, for example: Track 9 off of their 3rd album Awake called Lifting Shadows off a Dream where the bass intros by forming the chords Bm(add 11) and F#m7(♭5) to support the keyboard line playing a beautiful pattern offbeat. The ironic thing is - when first writing that song, they thought it was terrible! Oh, the irony of Dream Theater! *Bernard Edwards* - The One, The Only, The Bass WIZARD! The deliverer of epic bass lines such as Good Times and Le Freak. Not only one of the funkiest bassists to ever walk the earth but also one of the most overlooked when compared with other bassists of the time. One of the things in my mind that stands out about him is that he quite literally never changed strings on his bass. Take that, Glenn Fricker! Those are my top three. They may not be the three easiest to listen to, but they're my favourites!

I have an Alembic....and a Stingray. I love them equally. I an HH , and with the coil splitter, you can really get more diversity in tone, though slapping is a little trickier w/less room between the neck pup, and the neck heel.... just takes getting used to.

#musicmanstingray 1. John Deacon from Queen. John is a huge inspiration for me, his basslines are simple but he really knew how to hold down the grove! 2. Timmy C! RATM is one of my favorite bands of all time, and Tim just defines the stingray sound in my opinion. 3. My Dad. This is cheesy, but my dad was in a band in the 80s for a long time and his go to bass was a music man stingray. He played a lot of covers, but he felt that when he played a p bass, the bass just got drowned out in the mix for a lot of songs. I know I’ll probably get lost in the comments, but just wanted to share my story. I’ve come from a long line of bassist and musicians in general. I’m only 16 but I’ve been playing bass for 7 years now, but I’m still playing on a cheap Squier. It’s a great bass, don’t get me wrong, but I just have been wanting to upgrade for a while now. I’m working on getting a job but being a Junior in high school takes away all of my free time. I have been watching your videos for a couple of years now, and I must say that you have helped me tremendously! My band has noticed how much I have improved, and I’m very proud of how well I can improvise over anything. I just want to say thank you, and I appreciate you taking your time to read my comment :)

#musicmanstingray 1) Louis Johnson: Bass player extraordinaire and the face of the original Stingrays. 2) Flea: My biggest influence when i learned to play. For me, Fleas style is THE Stingray sound. 3) Cliff Williams: Lays down the foundation to the greatest rock band on the planet and he chooses to do it on a Stingray.

@quelmattia7961 5 лет назад

#musicmanstingray 1) Flea ablolutely. He gave his personal touch to this fantastic instrument, and make it sound so heavy, full of power and FUNK! That's what make people love bass and still instantly recognize his fantastic bass lines :) 2) Tim Commerford. He is not famous for his shred..but for mixing 2 kind of music with that heavy sound makin it enter in mainstream. 3) John Deacon. He is absolutely one of my favorite ever..i love the way how he turns a simple bass lines in a iconic hymn. Take for example "another one bites the dust", if you play that line in any place, whatever you want..everyone..i said EVERYONE!!! Can still recognize that groove. Sorry for my bad english (i'm italian😌)

@jacob.calloway6833 5 лет назад

Mattia Nogarè better English that 90% of this country. (United States) You are correct on all of these. Flea is definitely one of my favorite bassist.

#musicmanstingray 1: John Myung- I know he plays a 6 string Bongo by MusicMan, but he one of my favorite bassists of all time, as well as one of the most technical 2: Flea- He was the first bassist I ever knew the name of haha. Love his style and music. 3: Cliff Williams- AC/DC is a great band with an underrated bassist in Cliff

@martin8313 5 лет назад

#MusicmanStingray 1) Flea: When I first started playing bass all I knew about it was roots and fifths. Then my friend showed me RHCP and that's when it clicked for me that bass is more than just a background support instrument, its beautifully crafted piece of art for musical expression. 2) John Deacon: TBH I didn't know he played a stingray until this video, I thought he only played the P-Bass. But Queen has always been a favorite and Johns basslines have inspired me in so many ways. 3) Lars Lehmann: After watching the playthrough on bass the world with his Stingray 4 Roasted Maple Neck I was completely sold on him as a player and the stingray as my favorite instrument.

#MusicmanStingray 1) Pepe Bao - My favorite Spanish bass player, from the band O'Funk'Killo. I've seen him a couple of times live and it's astonishing to see him play both his MusicMan and his Bongo. 2) John Myung - Not only does he play the MusicMan stingray, but is also one of the pioneers of the MusicMan Bongo bass. Just like Pepe Bao, an extremely talented and innovative Bassist. 3) Flea - The one and only bassists of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. They were the only band I listen when I was a teenager. Because of him I started to play bass.

@brucesahroian1482 4 года назад

Well, Im like your experience with Music Man. Played Fender P bass for over 20 years but never a Music Man. In 1982 saw a G&L L-1000! (when the headstock looked like a Fender) Just playing in the store (located in Fullerton of all places) I could tell it was far better in sound than any of my 1960's P basses! So I traded my 1968 (I believe) Fretless P bass and never looked back! I found that this new bass could cut through the band with ease! No more bass in the background!! And considering it was passive the amount of sounds I could get were fantastic including the (famous) OMG sound! and more. This feature takes you from bass player to Thunder Storm on stage!!! I recently sold that bass, I regret it, but I don't play any more, and due to arthritic conditions, It was time to pass this workhorse to someone else!! So I think, before all is said and done, that you should give a G&L a test drive of your liking! Judge for yourself! ( you have the resources) think you will be very surprised! Oh yeah! My pick for Stingray Bass player is Louis Johnson! KICK BUTT!

@ronlaframboise1459 5 лет назад

Stingray was my first real bass in the late 70's, and it is, in my view, likely the most versatile bass ever made. This is, no doubt, my preferred bass

@briangregory6303 5 лет назад

I'm gonna throw you a curve ball and give you an underrated player. Benjamin Orr of The Cars. The man could play any instrument. And he had an awesome voice. Most of their biggest hits had him on lead vocals.
