Improvisation in the Bass Music Man Sting Ray by Wagner

[EchelonFisher]

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between this and the vintage est96. In terms of sound is the stingray much better?

[Megathrasher1975]

I just imagined watching a 1970's porn and they were very hairy. lol. guess theres a place for this style.

[gkbassn4]

Man you play that bass the way it deserves to be played! May i ask what string you have on there?

[EWILL1501]

nice, what are you using for the drums?

[fallencrazaysk8er]

What year was this bass made in?

[DudeAndHisBass32]

Por que será que o Brasil sempre tem o melhor material? =)

Parabéns cara, tá massa!

[javierysantos]

Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

[drewzzr1]

Great Technique and very crisp phrasing.

I have a Sting ray and it 's much fatter and richer than a precision or a similar Bass.

I also play a Warwick which has better attack and a faster neck great for Rock tunes etc. But for 16 Beat, Jazz, Funk and Soul I prefer the Stingray. It's a quality instrument which when it's set up with your choice of strings and action is a very nice instrument to play and makes you feel good about your playing too.

[MrCookiMonsta]

i didnt know that Wagner played Bass?

[ejdbk]

ok,i have a question,i might be able to get a music man stingray bass,but i won't be able to try it,and it doesn't come with a hardcase or anything,should i take this chance or what,my teacher "might" be able to get it for me,its also cheaper if i order it from my teacher but i won't be able to try it first

[gunryobassist]

whenever i lose faith in playing the bass becasue 95% of bands want you to play a boring repetitive bassline all the time, i just watch something like this and i fall in love with my instrument all over again. Its just awesome

[MusicMan41894]

He's just Funking around like its nobodies business

[ewil1219]

That's what I'm talking about! Stay true on that bass man!

[Ricochet924]

and now your local on the 8's!

[BigVStudio]

Awsome Dude!!

[TheBlackPearlJam]

I have this exact bass and MAN it packs a punch. I recommend this to any kind of players, just a amazing, beautifully made instrument.

[74Drosera]

I thougt, the stingray is done for me. After this vid I think about buying another one. Though, here, the player makes the sound.

[DremPaint]

That was a marvelous improv. That was beautiful !!!!

[blueman912]

such a sexy bass *____*

[nephilymbass1]

nice playing, wish I could hear the bass a little better but when I turn it up the snare is ridiculous

[manutdbass19]

What make pickup and strings are you using?

[SR1000EFM]

there's a 5string one in my musicstore but i just can't try it cause i already know what will happen....and i wanna eat next month!

[DawnStrikerZero]

this sounds like a bad hiphop instrumental that uses a terrible funk keyboard riff

[CH4RLIEonUtube]

fantasctico il musicman!! XD

[fritsflow]

This guy made me buy a Music Man (Sub Bass in my case for i'm not worth a Stingray yet)

[fritsflow]

This guy made me buy a Music Man (Sub Bass in my case)

[TpSLAPADAbass]

I have the ray34 and i cant here a difference in the sound of the bass.

[xAbsoluteJackx]

This is the kind of guy that deserves this bass.

[63b187]

beautiful phrasing

[barhocker18]

awesome :)

Have u got tabs 4me or is it just improvised?

[74Drosera]

excellent!

[4n1mefan92]

nice sound man i'm considering too buy this bass but how does it play man i mean the sounds awesome but it also has to play good if u know what i mean

[andygrohl08]

que lindo bajo..!

[requintiador]

por que tiene cuatro botones??

[embiamemucho]

@requintiador debe ser un bajo activo, es decir son botones para: Volumen, Altos, Medios Y bajos

[requintiador]

@embiamemucho ok men gracias-- o bien puede ser volumen y tono para cada pastilla...gracias

[jazzobassoon]

bravo

[MrR12S]

NICE

[MrBasso69]

this video made me pick up my Stingray again after playing my fenders for months

[TheRacso98]

I will want this for 15 years birth day but the problem is i am 12 and i need to wait 2 and a half years to get it mean while ill need to use my ibanez -.-

[Mulauboy]

@TheRacso98 dude be happy wat u got man... in that two and a half years to practise everything and learning cool stuff before u use a bass like a stingray...

[TheRacso98]

@Mulauboy yae ty anyways my ibanez sounds good thx for that.

[fenderjbr]

[emosdieslow]

I can't decide on the stingray or the new american jazz. I really can't

[zeca1005]

Grande Cozinha!! Parabens!!

[eltuzo466]

Superb

[BlueTreecko]

Johnny Christ from Avenged Sevenfold uses the Musicman Sterling

[sickdiggitydog]

[Luisinhobass]

[spacedub1]

[cansaran11]

GRACIAS AMIGO !!!

[drummerforjesus2000]

I love playing my friend's musicman. So incredible. As a bassist and a drummer, i know how important the groove is, and this bass puts out incredible sound, as well as the fact that it feels great to play, especially because i move up and down the neck a lot. AWESOME Bass! Keep up the good work, MateusPizzi!

[TechSmack]

Wagner is on the x-factor

[Yentulam]

fuck off with 3 people disliked coz they accidentally barfed onto the dislike button,

although I don't understand why you should dislike this.

btw, I figured out your bass solo unti 1:06 and I really love the way you use the groove.

[lolroflstomp]

This guy has some serious chops.

[myke336]

heh 3 people disliked this video....must be guitar players =P

[myke336]

HOLY FUCK!!!!! That just happened!!!!

[funkman1985]

insane!!

[kini79]

hello, what scale are you improvising in ?

[Yentulam]

@kini79 you are definitely no musician.

E minor

1 - 1/2 - 1 - 1 - 1/2 -1 - 1

[gleuber94]

mt foda, toca muito velho

tudo de bom sucesso!

abrass!

[SikaStarter]

PEOPLE!

Don't praise the bass, praise the bassPLAYER!

A good bass player can even do magic with a p-bass, but NO Stingray plays awesome by itself!

[MaLaKaRuN]

@SikaStarter but a good instrument always helps!

[jazzman31415]

@SikaStarter I totally agree. I'm sure if I handed my £35 POS Encore bass to this guy he would make it sing!

[madspoonful]

@SikaStarter what do you mean by even with a p bass

[Jordo1900]

This is the greatest bass in history & one hell of a player & your so great at improv & Im getting that bass next july

[metallicaphanatic93]

Excellently played man and nice bass. Really want a MusicMan bass myself.

[TJMunich]

Does anyone know how to contact Mr. Wagner Delfini ? I'd like to ask him how he did that particular "creamy" sound ? Any help would be apreciated. This bass player is of a very special musicality. BR TJ

[BIGeSTRING]

OMG unbelieveble good sound in that MM Sting Ray, saterday i got a MM for myself

[Domenix71]

Nice groove :-)

[Marcvs900]

First time ever I hear a stingray sounding good, very good.

Congrats man

[PennybagDarrell]

I couldn't get the money for one of these so I routed between the pickguard and bridge of and old p bass I had and put a music man humbucker in it and it sounds almost exactly the same.

[HoshiReizei]

Musicman Stingrays are such nice basses... I wish I had $2000 to buy one... :(

[nerdlish]

@TheTheendofday

no, i love the electric guitar, but what i meant is that most people become instantly popular if they can play maybe one or two good songs.

[TechSmack]

how much was that one?

[TheTheendofday]

@TechSmack well the stingray at my local guitar center is about $1,300 or so um so im guessing this one would be somewhere around $2,000 or more idk i could be off by alot but i dont know

[ayamel64]

minchia....!!!!

[MusicBoy805]

Hey wat r the options u put on tht EQ?

[TechSmack]

@MusicBoy805 awesome sound awesome sound 2 and awesome sound 3

[BillyBasser92]

Fucking great bass,

fucking great player....

Best improvisation I ever saw.... :)

[predador123]

Vende esse bass cara ?? pago 3 pau nele a vista!

[HomeBuyersofOhio]

I love this....very well done. Wow!!!

[Canadianvibe]

sounds amazing man, what stings do you use?

[bassatnight]

Excellent playing! 

[nerdlish]

if you think the normal electric guitar is over rated give me thumbs

[TheTheendofday]

@nerdlish

i dont think the normal electrical guitar is "Overrated" i love to play guitar to, me and my gramps do it every week,

its just im more interested in bass playing but it isnt "overrated"

[dTbFan72]

this is so fucking awsome 

[andrewds98]

@dTbFan72 the bass is so funking awesome lol

[yogurtss]

hola me decis el calibre de esas cuerdas?? 0.40 ? thanks

[kekecom]

best basses in my opinion!!

[Ploeg1987]

Nice Man!!!!

[ilovesabian1n1]

who said you can only shred on guitar?

[Equipe3v]

I feel real privilaged to own and play a musicman!

[kekecom]

@Equipe3v you feel right!!

[kekecom]

@Equipe3v is this bass in 5 string model too?

[13EMAIN14]

@kekecom not from a major guitar dealer usually but i pretty sure you can get 5 strings if you look around but if you are getting a 5 string i suggest a warwick.but if you wanna slap i would get this.

[Equipe3v]

@kekecom Yeah, you get 5-string stingrays and sterlings. And reflexes and bongos and big-als. haha. Most musicman basses are now available as 5-stings! The bongo even has a 6-string!!!

[metalfanatic01]

ever sin ce i started playing i've wanted one of these like hell. to see other people playing them good is just diamonds to my eyes gr8 playing

[samuriguy909]

[maddermofo]

[bartoszbudz]

I'm really impressed! Very smooth, very groovy. I'm totally in love with the sound of that Stingray.

[SolidSnakewins]

I have seen people use this bass for metal , does it work for every genre of music??

[aznpride626]

@SolidSnakewins This Bass is on of the most versatile bass because people use it for so many different style of music.

[SolidSnakewins]

@aznpride626 Cool because I am in a band that plays Heavy Metal and I want to purchase a new bass

[Alextheanarchist]

@SolidSnakewins Rickenbacker is also a good choice, but it's up to you. I purchased a Rick a few months ago. Holy crap it's lovely, but it's up to you :)

[jelleast]

@aznpride626 it is because it is? :P

[aznpride626]

@jelleast not quite sure what i meant but RIckenbacker are so expensive.

[xcleartheedgex]

@aznpride626 Ypu just read my fucking mind :)

[aznpride626]

@xcleartheedgex haha. thanks.

[thecrashinghighways]

@aznpride626 also, just to add to that, you can get pretty much any tone out of it, jaco tone, slap tone, good rock/r&b tone, and everything in between

[thecrashinghighways]

@aznpride626 and because it sounds great with every type of music

[Tcho713]

if that was really improvisation, then i salute you. you are the master of bass

[BKiller94]

Can you pleaze tell me how you've learned this? Im trying to learn playing bass by myself...ive only been playing for a month now...how long will it take for me to be able to do this groovy funky playing???

[cookimobsta]

@BKiller94 Realy, realy long.

[MrSam123ni]

@BKiller94 Many, many years.

[yumebirdland]

[mutation999]

Mateus

[Mortycakes]

[borteek]

[gesso2000]
