MusicMan Stingray Classic review

My review of the Musicman Classic StingRay 4 Bass Guitar, Black, 4-String, Single Humbucker, 2-Band EQ, Black Pickguard, Maple Neck.

I'm very much enjoying playing this right now, particularly slap style as the action is perfect and it feels really responsive.

Hope this is a useful insight into what the bass is like, it's not an exhaustive review, there's many more sounds that can be got from the bass from your hands and different EQ settings.

This is a great review. I can't wait for my bass to arrive. Did you have to have a setup done or did it come from the factory ready to play?

@byjuu246 Mhhh, I don't think so ? I don't remember if he did ^^'

My question wasn't really "what is the difference" but "Is that more a pre-ernie ball sound or 90's stingray sound?". And If I had to respond to this question, with the sound he had in his video, I think it's more a pre-ernie ball sound for me. You can hear it when he slap, you have that characteristic punch on the High frequency.

Hope it will help you, sorry for my bad english.

See ya.

@UnMaxDeGrOove Did he ever

answer your question about the

difference between the pre-ernie

ball sound and the classic 2 band

sound?!!!

[pwnerinator]

@RaffaBass95 OH NO. The rosewood ones get dirty very easy due to their large grain; but with this, even if it was unfinished, there will be very little dirt or skin oil build up. With a neck like this or a Rickenbacker where it has a finish I can hardly see anyone ever needing to anything more than wiping a paper towel on it to get the skin grease off of it.

[RaffaBass95]

I heard that the maple neck's get dirty more easily...is that true?

[UnMaxDeGrOove]

I just wanna ask you, is that a pre-ernie ball sound ? or a classic 2 band sound ? for example an 90' stingray sound .
