Jon Gallant of Billy Talent plays a Stingray finger style! One of the tightest drummer/bassist ever!

@@DaveOnBass tenx man, I had to send the 5-string back it had a serious dent on the heastock🥺. Took a Spector Skylar Acord sig. Spector 5 'string in return which is also an awesome axe. Korean made but great bang for the buck the Music man prices are going bananas these days and they dont even give you the hard case with it anymore

I played one of these for a year. They sound especially well with an Ampeg SVT3 PRO.

Looks like they used ceramic pickups from 1991-2008: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_Man_StingRay_5

I had never heard of Billy Talent. You're right- the bass tone is KILLER on III. Do you ever have trouble with the G string slippage due to it being so close to the edge of the frets or do you just have good technique?

Never had an issue at all with that 👍

what a shame they don't do these with 24 frets.... I am thinking about one H or HH. I don't like so many options for HH shiiit 6 positions. I cant never pickup the sound. I like the parallel settings for pickup in this MM

Nice demo, but you never used the b string (frustratingly, most people demoing this bass don’t), and that’s the very reason I search for videos of this bass - I want to hear that b string.

Great B string, but I no longer own this bass so keep looking. There were a couple reviews I did when I first started doing them that I overlooked the B - I don’t ever do it anymore. Always gets pointed out by someone. Kinda can’t believe I missed it, but I guess I did - doh! 😖

Couldn't hear any difference. But likely because I'm listening on my phone.

Peter Hook of New Order used a stingray in the late 80’s to mid 90’s. Always complained that it never stayed in tune.

Dave On Bass would it be because of the tuning. EADGB would’ve been his tuning. To me EADGB is more efficient for me than BEADG.
