Bass legend of the MusicMan. Lo thank you Fender. Stingray the first, but the sterling assets qq to please.
22 frets, made in California, 4 knob (ie, volume, treble, medium rather, bass).
It is a little more than lgre Stingray handle a little thinner, a slecteur three positions (on a single micro version), or a position series, PARALLEL and split for the two windings of the microphone.
5-string version is fairly new to the series Sterling (2 years). Before, only existed in the Stingray 5 string.
In look, the pickguard is rest "round" or Plutt shaped tasted in version 5 strings, unlike the series 5 string Stingray (one thing I like about MusicMan is this round plate, I did not like the plate of the Stingray 5).
The mine has a finite "Pacific Blue Burst" with "matching Headstock" as they say, ie with a head the same color.
Render this DGRAD is really beautiful and very Russian (and now got the colors ...). I like the dark blue that goes to the edge dunoir.
UTILIZATION
The handle is fine, but not much. It is a bit like my deuxime bass: Ibanez ATK 5-string. For the body, like the handle, is close to a Fender Precision 5.
If I have a small point, it is in the card between the strings is greater than my neck Ibanez and the Premire LATEST strings are a little too close to the edge of the handle: it can quickly "falling off" if we go too fast.
To this point, I will not put more than 8 / 10.
SOUNDS
Sound: I read a lot of the stuff above! First, it leaves much! Very much! much power (or dynamic), with lots of sustain. If there are limitations in using this bass, I would say they come from more than the color of his (or range frequency drives if you want).
I had some bass, including Regular Tunb Warwick Streamer LX-on and and Fender Jazz bass. This is the opposite is not the type single coil jazz bass. There is a world of difference.
Some say it has a medium rather his bass. True, but this mic out a good bass sound (which remains clear and specific on, not "deaf" or mushy), and treble are very good presents too. I felt very limited in the register boards, mediums, but no, the palette is broad (and you have three knobs for tone.
A very good thing also is that the strings are ringing all with the same volume (If neither serious nor do Sol are indented). I had this problem a little with my Ibanez ATK: a very beautiful sound good bass, good dynamics, but a G string back (that of R but also to a lesser extent). Otherwise, the ATK is an instrument of great quality for the price and I highly recommend it for those who love a good bass sound good, good rock (with three active coil).
3 bodies with my Trace Elliot (prampli GP12SMX 12 bands - 2x10 and 1x15 HPs), a "dgomme" and I can get Frequencies I want.
OVERALL OPINION
Very good instrument that keeps a value if properly maintained (see the opportunity in asking price!). Even with a microphone, there are ways to have a palette of rich, with a clear and specific on the range in frequency drives, and all the strings.
The usage limit comes from the momentum and sustain the active MusicMan humbucking pickup. This may not be suitable styles blues roots, jazz ... lovers of old jazz bass.
In my style "hard 70's" Deep Purple (To summarize), it agrees very well and shows good mix gnral (you must have with my guitarist and his 2x100 w lamps!) .
