Music Man really makes some great basses. All of the 'Rays sound great played finger style. One of the best things they ever did was bring the classic 2 EQ Stingrays back in the Classic series. They have less upper mids/harshness to my ears than modern Stingrays and sound fantastic. Great playing in this video, especially with the Latin music!

For a long time they were still making the standard, non-Classic Stingray with the 2 band, which oddly a lot of people didn't know. I got one and in my opinion it's one of the best Stingrays they ever made because it has all the modern advancements that they made with the bridge, body contours, neck, nut, etc, but with the 2 band preamp.
Listening to this in my car stereo system. Sounds incredible! I’m buying this exact bass. Can’t wait! Great playing, great review! Thank you!
Awesome video and amazing chops... thanks!!!🔥🔥🔥
Always great tune and great play! Thank you for your Video !
The iconic StingRay tone always sounds fantastic and never gets lost in the mix! It's one of the best multi-genre basses ever made in my opinion!
Really nice timing bro. Especially ur slap. Deep pocket
Very cool, as always.👍
Sounds great! On the P tip! Sounds great in that mix too man! Love

Growl and stingray bite 🤗
Well your technique is killer. Super duper review
Wow, really enjoyed that.
Wow!!! Adding the PJ PE5....it's sounds bigger in the mix, full, warm, and "crispy" mid-ranges typically from Stingray's!!!☺
Processed at the end was excellent.
Kudos to this man Jayme entertains, plays phenomenally and still spends time to easily explain what he’s after tonewise and why it is better track by track. Humble, empathetic, and straight to the point You know what? I bought an exactly identical black Stingray special 5 right on

How's it play? I'm debating myself over whether I should get an American ultra jazz bass or this bass

@@anotakudetective1546 consider a gentle electronic in which trebles don’t hiss and mids don’t gnarl, just add those frequencies right on without giving you the sense of “too much”. The bass control instead gives you an upscaling boost on bottom end while the body keeps a substantial mid fundamental even made out of ash. Ash that’s really light considerin it’s a stingray 5er (around 9lb) with manufacturing stayin top notch in pure musicman style What a stingray 5er has is the 3 position switch gìving you the “attack” in parallel mode (towards the bridge) the “tight” in single mode (centered) and the “boom” in series mode (towards the neck) The thing it has not, compared to a Fender Ultra, is the on/off switch: you can’t turn it passive in case of batteries (2) draining. Hope this helps Cheers
Have have 2 of these! Absolutely love them !! One is this one and one is all black with ebony

Love the stingray 5. Love the bite it has on the notes. In the end of the 2nd song. Did you notice the low end tone just kinda dropped out. You couldn't really hear it any more in the mix. What happened?!?
The DI is great. I use this with quickbass from united plugins. Easy chili pepper sound
Great vid, loved each demo and how they weren't just full of poorly played picking or slapping. Tastefully played with plenty of groove. Would love to see this style review of fender's ultra jazz V
Really cool studio...
Actually, if you want more body and less treble, you can just switch the pickup to series (yurn the switch closer to the neck)
Bro...the tone sounds amazing! NO complaints here. Anything that you think is off can be EQed by the FOH guys.
Hi Jayme, Can you do a review on the Sterling by Music Man Ray 35. I have the Ray 34 and two American Music Mans. Thanks 😎🎸
The epitome of funk music! 🤪
My favorite bass is my ebmm fretless 5 string
K, Jayme or Guys (anyone)... 2 quest's: Any tips on technique or feel of going from a 4 string to 5?? I played a few but I always hit tha low B sumtime when I slap! Also I wanna get that low-end sound that Bootsy gets (b4 tha mix) and wondering 🤔 if I can get close with tha Sting-Ray?? Thanx ✌🏾👍🏾
Jayme… musicman should tribute you something I not only appreciated this (like many other vids of yours) but bought the exact bass right away Man: only differences are you’re such a gifted musician (whom I’m not) and my stingray 5 has chrome hardware instead of satin black… other than that, black with sculpted heel and body profile, roasted maple neck & fretboard 18v preamp and ultra light bridge and machine heads. Go on buddy And go on Raiders (that’s why black & silver stingray for me)
I generally turn the top all the way down on my stingray, also go with flats. Sounds great.
My studio is one of kind too.
Sounds great to me. You can't go wrong with an SR5
Whats in anyone's opinion is the best switch for H settings? For metal band. Still cant decide
it’s always sunny with a stingray special
i want to buy that bass Jayme
woooo that neck!
You, sir, have a filthy nasty groove! So good n' tasty. Really dig the demos. My Stingray 5 is my favorite playing bass. I just wish it worked for all genres. I play mostly country these days and the Ray snarling around in the mix just doesn't work. Adjust it and it doesn't cut. I've thought about getting an HH flavored one to see if that'd maybe fit better. So far, the P is the money tone there.

I know what you mean. Have you tried it with flats? Ernie Ball Group Flats or Cobalts really do sound good on the Stingray and tame the highs.

@@bazZzment I have. I currently have a set of EB custom flats and I dig them. Some folks swear by TI Jazz Flats. I just got a set for my P/J and dig it on that. They’re spendy so I’m reluctant to try them on my Ray. They may not fit though. The B is a fat sucker at .136! .132 was snug through the bridge and I suspect .136 will require a drill or file 😬, nut will too I suspect.
what about the historical issue with Stingray5 of the G string be 0.001 mm close to the edge of the neck? is this issue still there with the new version? thanks btw, cool video

Which one did you like better the Stingray Special or the Bongo?

I own both.....a Stingray Special and a Bongo. IMHO......Nothing else I've ever played is as capable of as many Variations in Bassilicious Tones as a Bongo. ✌
What’s with the Las Vegas reference?? It’s funny and I don’t even know why!!
Try the hh that's even better. And if you want finger style use flatwounds. No eq needed.
Dude, What about pick tone…? 🥺
For the latin song I think the bass cut through the mix better before processing. After processing it was buried in the other instruments. At least to my ears.

cutting through the mix isn't always what you want a bass to do.
Though poppa Leo Fender made great historic basses, carried on with brands like Music Man and G&L, the 4 + 1 headstock continues to look ridiculous and really needs to be wholescale changed. But aside from that, this is a great-sounding bass. What's funny, is for the sake of sales, many other bass manufacturers have produced basses with the same ridiculous-looking headstock.
Sadly, they have pretty much quit making lefties.
Wow, most ill fitting sleeve tattoo I've ever seen on someone in my life lol
