The Stingray is so solid in design, even the cheapest versions are better than boutique models from other manufacturers.
I love the sound of the Stingray when Paul Denman plays for Sade. Awesome
Love these Sterling basses ! It would have been cool to see on the video how the knobs were set...
Great review as always! I Love this bass
thanks!
This one was actually my first bass, I now own a fender P player but I gave the SUB to my brother and he's rocking the F out of that bass
Awesome
So I bought a Sub Stingray 5. I Put EMGs a BTS EQ and a PBass soapbar EMG right in front of the music man pickup.I also added a AlBridge.I love this bass and so do the guys in my 10 piece Tower/EWF, Chicago band. It sounds fat and punchy yet it has total clarity and definition. And it plays like a dream, low action no fretbuzz. This bass will be on every one of my gigs from now on. I will still bring one of my Jazz Basses but they will see a lot less action.
I just ordered a 5 string Sterling Sub series. I play mostly J Basses so this is a real departure for me, but this video gives me the feeling that I might enjoy my new bass.
Awesome review, jayme. 😎🤘🏻🎸There were a few times I thought about buying a sterling ray bass. I’ve tried one out a few years ago at a guitar center and I thought it sounded great. Especially with overdrive. I might consider adding one to my arsenal.
Thanks!
Amazing how they can masacure a classic Beatles song!!
VERY NICE JAYME I WISH I COULD PLAY THAT BASS
I have 2 a 4 and 5 string and ive owned american made musicmans and honestly for the money the two i have now are the best ive owned. Amazing instruments for the price
..i owned a few sub sterlings over the years, they were all good - great playability, great sound - but for me, I missed sometimes a little bit more mids. So then the sterling34 by musicman Stingray ( not sub) with a roasted maple Neck and a 3band came out...and this thing literally blews me away! For me there is absolutely no reason now to buy a "original" and way more expensive Stingray, because the sound, craftsmanship and playability of this sterling 34 is simply outstanding. These basses are phantastic workhorses and I really love them! 🖤
There is a reason, ray 34 even with his roasted neck and his shiny sparkle is wired in series so the tone is NOT the tone of a real stingray, I noticed it I soon as I plugged it in I and was a lil disappointed, it's a 1K more $ bass lol, fuck sterling
I love the sound of my sterling and the body stile
Haha how on earth do you keep reviewing products that I'm looking to buy! thanks again for the thorough review, Jayme!
Alexa isn't the only one listening to all of your conversations ;)
@@deadbeatstudios 😆no kidding!
The thing is you don't even have to stop there with the SUBs - stick a John East MM 2Band preamp in there, and a Nordstrand MM pickup, you're still coming in at way less money than the next model up, and you've got really great classic Ray tones.
Great review! I've always loved the build quality and tone of Ernie Ball Music Man basses, but couldn't ever afford them. 😕 Then, several years ago, I tried one of the original S.U.B. basses, got hooked, and then ordered a Sterling by Music Man Ray35HH (Pearl White, black pickguard, and roasted maple neck), and I LOVE IT! I've got it strung up with EB Slinky Flatwound strings. Fantastic value for the money!
thanks patrick!
@@deadbeatstudios Also, if you get the chance to try out one of the Short Scale Sting Rays, you totally should! They are a blast and sound PHENOMENAL!
@@bassnsax i'm filming that video as we speak :)
The Low End Lobster took a bunch of thr black SUB basses and suped them up with new preamps and pick ups and they sounded just as good and in some case's better than an American Stingray for a fraction of the price
I have a sub bass that is sea foam green. Love it but the white pickguard doesn't match anything on it. Thinking about taking it to a Trucker's chrome place to see what they can do with it. Any options out there?
This MM sounds amazing. I have two Ray 35 with better electronics and roasted maple. I bought a second Sterling, because they are rare in Germany these days.
I have a Sterling by Music Man StingRay Sub Series (walnut satin colour). It's very different if compair to EBMM (it sounds much less brighter), but for the price it's very nice!
I had a blue stained one and in my experience those were the better feeling SUBS compared to the painted ones
The MusicMan Sterling Ray 34 Roasted Maple / Natural Stain!! 👍🏾😁Holds it’s own to all other MusicMan Stingrays ‼️🤨IMO!! 😍❣️’em!!
nice video... BTW where are your other videos?... i look for the heaven and earth video (playing with a worship team) and i dont know where is it
Thanks Carlos - the lesson you're looking for is right here thebassist.net/playing-bass-on-a-worship-team-ostinato-patterns/
I have 2 of them now but both HH double hum bucker versions with the 5 position switch. I have a 5 string and a 4 string that has flats on it now. I'm a big fan and really dig them! People can be nit-picky but for around 1/8 the price they are close enough for my purposes. They also seem to have very good and solid build quality, nice necks, etc.especially for that price point! I am curious how you had the pre-amp set for the various tones you demonstrated? All set flat? Probably not?
Very cool Mark! As for the settings I don't recall off the top of my head. But if I don't mention them in this video then I talk about it in my deep dive videos on Patreon. Stay well!
I have a few basses that were made in Indonesia and very happy with them. They are well made with solid construction. I avoid the ones made in China as the quality to me is sub-par. The Ray 4 will be my next bass.
which one do u think is better, squier jbass affinity or this one ?
What a bass line is this from Memphis... For several times I listened to this and tried to learn. BTW, I almost got to this watching the video from Bass The World.
Awesome! ya it's one of my favorite songs that I've ever worked on. I have full TAB's and bass-less playalong files at thebassist.net/memphis if you wanna learn it for real :)
Great! Sure I will! Thank you so much!
Hello, do you think it's worth changing the pickup? or is it just change for change? my choice would be Aguilar
Stock pickup sounds fine as is!
CBGB reference!
The Harley Benton MM84A is better on price and has two pickups all for about a third of the price. Plus excellent service from Thomann comes as standard.
I got this bass. It's sounds great for that price. But my Ibanez BTB 765 is much much better. This Sterling was really awesome 10-15 years ago.
is this bass sounding this great or is the sound processed
If you like the Steve Miller Band, you'd be happy to know all the 70s songs were recorded using a Stingray.
It sounds just like a stingray should NOT sound and that's because it's wired in series
Sounds muddy to me
Thanks for the feedback - I'm curious on which speakers or headphones you are listening? Thanks!
Muddy..? This bass sound very articulated. On the contrary - for someone used to Fender basses (pun intended!) it may at first appear to be a bit too aggressive and in your face. (I have a couple of jazz basses, a p-bass as well as Sterling’s big brother Stingray Special. The Music Man basses are far from muddy…)
