MGR/TheMadKozak « Music Man Stingray »
Published on 11/01/01 at 15:00I had gone to look the local music stor to look for an additional speaker cab to sit under my existing combo. Having tried it out on a display model of bass close to the Samick I owned I foolishly asked "Do you gain anything extra by buying a more expensive guitar other than the name?". I was offered to try the Musicman and was hooked. After a week of sampling other basses at a number of stores i returned to buy the Musicman. I paid £950.00
The first thing that hit me was the low action which made it so easy to play and secondly the tone. With a three band EQ pre-amp, the variety of tones is more than enough for my requirements.
Also, it look good.
The only thing I still cannot get used to is the fact that the machine head for the G string is on the opposite side of the head to the other strings.
The Musicman Stingray is a well built bass that is balanced perfectly.
The only bass I have picked up of the shelf and felt comfortable with. Action and balance make it so easy to play.
