All user reviews for the Sterling by Music Man StingRay Ray4

Made in Indonesia, body type stingray, narrow neck (38 Nut), maple fingerboard, 21 frets. The bridge is not the equipping musicman sterling or sterling SB 14, but it is well made. 1 humbucker with large easel pad identical to the model music man at least in appearance, a volume knob, one treble, one bass, no midrange control.

UTILIZATION

the neck is thin, rather nice, the strings are mounted low end, but the instrument was delivered correctly set. This is a light and balanced bass, frets do not hang, no complaints about the screws, everything is ok, the Indonesian copy is performed.

SOUNDS

For my part I bought it to work for me. I sold my music man sterling there a few months, this sub has of course nothing to compare, but the price is divided by 5. I also had a sterling SB 14, which she supported compares very well with the "music man". I play without effects on a last generation that GK replaced because my SWA weight thereof. The major problem with this sub that other users have also noted the volume control is absolutely not progressive. We go from nothing to a huge sound, which can pose a serious problem to the user in concert. No midrange control, the acute button generates a large breath. We can nevertheless get an interesting sound, but to find the musicman grain, it is best to go through the SB 14 and probably 34 ray (I have not tried)

OVERALL OPINION

So I just spend a few hours with this sub alternating with my Luthman. I have owned many basses all it is true a much higher price, so establishing a comparative me is difficult. (Warwick, Godin, jazz bass usa, Larrivée, Music Man Sterling, Sterling by music man, Leduc Masterpieces etc ...) This is my second bass to work, I do not know if I will keep. The value for money seems nevertheless quite good especially at the finish, as to her, if not in the "grain" musicman, one can find an interesting setting to adjust more condition at the amp that instrument. Ideally change the email, put good strings, or wait a bit and if you want to see the side of the musicman sterling SB 14 (excellent but hard to find used) Good for bass start and if you have a tight budget.

Musicman Sterling This is supposed to be a Chinese violin with pure juice and a musicman electronic control with us. The surprise is that the violin is very good handle with a slight roundness is very enjoyable to play, all metal hardware is neat, while only small problem we feel some invisible hand rough when we go on the table. The whole set is obviously nothing has retouch, the concavity is low, the low practice and there is no frieze.

UTILIZATION

The disappointment comes from the electronics, which is initially very powerful, too, requiring a different adjustment gain on the amp. Especially since the volume potentiometer brutally cut below a certain value and has a very limited range. It is not without false contact premium. But the worst is a very important imbalance between the strings with a hammer E string of A and D and stifled a missing Sol. And it is not moderately effective acute severe correction that can catch up to the coup. However, the micro adjustment seems to have been done, the distance is normal and perfectly balanced between serious and acute rope rope. After an adjustment disymetrique the situation is improving but the bottom line remains, the microphone is flat and the strings follow the radius of the handle when the distant Mi also the distant and the lower floor has its limitations since it is already in below 2 mm. Unless disrupt strings, strings are peripheral 1mm closer microphones their immediate neighbors.

SOUNDS

The sound is always typical rock sound variations are quite limited, power imbalances between the strings always present require to have a different game to the E string

OVERALL OPINION

A disappointing her, shame because the violin is well worth the price.
