- Stingray 4 string made in 3 eq availed himself of 1991

- Varnished maple neck (thin birdeyes).

- Key varnished

- Body blue / green poplar, not Ash

- Possibility of the dampers

UTILIZATION

- Neck wider than sterling or a jazz bass which suits me perfectly.

- Very fun to play and as light as my old Sterling.

- The frets are the vintage type.

- Electronics 3q responds well and is fairly accurate.

SOUNDS

- It's a bass, in my opinion, as I said for sterling, will not suit all styles of music.

- I use it mostly for rock and funk that are, for me, his favorite fields.

- The sound is much more "root", "fat" that sterling has a slightly more modern sound.

- It remains less versatile than the sterling. Just simply install a switch parallel / series / single coil, and voila.

OVERALL OPINION

- I play with for a few days and I can already do without it. On an ampeg tube amp, it achieved excellence.

- She has that sound, inimitable grain. One likes or dislikes. I love it.

- The Sterling is great. But, it lacks just that grain vintage that I find only the stingray.

- Otherwise, it lacks just a switch or selector as the Sterling. Anyway, on sterling, I was using only one dial position.

- Anyway, what I will ever Chois without hesitation.

- Before you buy, try one, because the sound is musicman, nevertheless, quite special, but absolutely brilliant.
