MusicMan Stingray vs Warwick FNA Jazzman

I read here and there that you could get a Stingray sound with a Warwick FNA Jazzman, just by using only the Humbucker pickup.

Well, just the wood combinations are too different and the pickups are not located at the same place for it to be possible, but I though I would share a video proving it.

The string are D'Addario Nickelwound 105-45 for both, just add 130 on the Stingray 5

On my Line 6 Pod X3, I used the "Modern Preamp" for both, all settings flat.

I know I'm not always playing well on that one, I've done better, I'll do worse! ;-)

What's the difference between tomato and tractor? Tomato is red and tractor has door openning outside :-)

@Stringboiler I saw a red tractor yesterday. I know tomatoes can be green too.

[AidanBassPlayer]

which one do you like more?

[thibo62]

@AidanBassPlayer I think the Warwick has my preference. Sits so nice and easily in a mix, and works perfect for my band. I traded the Stingray for a Pedulla Thunderbolt, and it was a deal to my advantage. But I really wouldn't mind getting another Stingray once again.

I'm surprised the single H Stingray sounds as full as it does here. I've never played on in person. Are you using the eq to bump up the lows?

[thibo62]

@jtroska No, as written on the video, all EQ were flat. Otherwise, this video wouldn't have any sense. Thanks for watching.

Ders notin like a Warwick man...

@jeanlemarchais stingray destroys the warwick in slap. For other styles warwick sounds better

i have the musicman stingray 5 HH its great! i played warwick jazz and corvette there great to i like the neck on the musicman better. and with the other humbucker and a 5 way switch you can get so many tones out it.

[jeanlemarchais]

the difference appears when you play the slap part ; warwick is more modern and the stingray is more vintage-precision-like sound.

[SteveUrkeI]

Nearly all of the tonal difference comes from the electronics and pickup placement. Body wood makes no noticeable difference.

great video...thank you

Warwick wins almost evrybass already just by the neckwood. Ovangkol neck and wenge fretboard is like one of best combination of neck wood combinations ive ever felt and heard... i always hated maple necks so... oh and warwick's bubinga bodies... thats the perfection :P you really start to get that sentance "sound of wood" when talking about warwicks...
