I don't own a bass 'casue I can't play the bass, but I do enjoy your bass videos Johnny Long! Thank you ~ you're fun to watch and learn from and your love for your instrument really shows.

You have the coolest hats Bro!

Nice! both beautiful thinking about putting a MM pickup in one of my basses

The StingRay has that Ole School Louis Johnson, Larry Graham Funk Sound, I have the 35, Just Ordered the 34, Funkster since 1974 here @Johnny Long

Great video brother! I wish that my Bass chops were as good as yours!

Lakland 5 strings are 35" scale and have 19mm bridge spacing. These are 2 major differences that I prefer over EBMM 5ers. Laklands have a better B and E string (due to the longer scale) and the string spacing feels the same as 4 strings. I love my 4 string EBMM basses. But, Lakland smokes them when it comes to 5 strings.

I got a Lakland 55-02 and I can confirm.

Hello Johnny love your videos and hope to see many more , I have the S.U.B. Ray 5 and in the process of modding the pup , preamp and bridge and I like the hip shot bridge you have and wanted to know the exact model ?, appreciate any info thanks .. also did you have to widen the pup cavity for the Seymour Duncan pup ?

Hey jhonny nice job lets see you play over the electric grape vine 6 strings fretted fretless good to hear you play ☺👍🎼🎶☕

I had both the 55-01 and the 55-02. They are heavy but they sound good. On the StingRay how far pickup from the bridge? Is that a 19mm bridge on the Ray?

Gary from the band Introvoys uses both MusicMan Stingray and a Lakland on his gigs yet there’s no distinction with the tones. For some odd reason, they both sound the same (May have something to do with either his pedals or just his style of playing)

LAKLAND AND MUSIC MAN WONDERFUL, THEIR ARE FANTASTICS

Yeah Lakland all the way shadakaka, love that bass.

There are some Stingray's with 2 pick-ups also. Plus Music Man can get real expensive. I'm talking several thousand dollars. It all depends on what level of Music Man you can afford & like the sound. Both basses you played, are cool. Thanks.

You're so energetic I'd like to know the ingredients in your green smoothie, lol lol lol

My 2012 5502 has a lot of bottom, and a pretty thick neck, I don't know maybe the 2002 models had thinner necks.

There's no comparison the music man always stands alone!

Love my Stingray too Johnny!!! They are THE BEST!!!

What kind of bridge is on that String Ray Bridge ?

Stingray all the way

That music man hot

What's your thoughts on Yamaha Bass guitars?

Hello Johnny long nice guy god bless you mister Im new subscriber

Did that hipshot bridge retrofit that music man?

The Lakland sounds like a delxue version of a Fender, and the Ray sounds, well... like only a Ray does!

Always thank your queen brother. I hate the look of Music Mans but the bass sounds great. I can't afford any of them yet but its nice to know how they compare. You are alright with me brother, I could learn some good stuff from you.

Jonny, do you like bongo basses?

It it good to have a good woman in your life ,.. and lots of Basses nearby !😀🎸 lol

Lakland❤

:DDDDD What was in that green drink???

I ant a smoothie too!

JOHNNY!!!! what's in the drink ?????

Whatever you play.... it’s gonna sound good..... I have a cheaper Harley Benton, what can you do with it

Johnny where is the Hobo Depo , I like the Lakland , wait I take that back I like the Musicman , I like the thick meaty neck.

Is that a real US Stingray or a Sterling Ray?

I'm sure it's Sterling Stingray SUB 5. Characteristic holes from the bridge.

At first, I thought the StingRay looked like a Sterling Ray5 S.U.B. or a Sterling Ray 25 - both have three knobs and no pre-amp selector switch, as does the guitar in this pic. However, some Ray 35s do come with only three control knobs for treble, mids, and bass control, and no pre-amp selector. However, most Ray35s seem to have four control knobs (vol, treb, mids, bass) and sometimes comes with a pre-amp selector. The bridge definitely appears to have been added on. And I cannot find that purple colored pickguard as an available option for any Ray35 on the market, so I'm guessing he purchased it from someone with an EBMM 5. Hence, this StingRay rig is definitely custom.

Is that bass for sale? The stingray custom?

Hey johnny musicman all the way know doubt

I'll go MusicMan all the way. No matter how many sounds you are able to get out of the Lakland, you are using one single sound during a gig anyway. ....ok, bit more high end here, bit more meat there... This Lakelands are fine instruments, anyhow.

The sound is way too hot for your mic, bro...

I know you put weed in that smoothie

How about some lessons

the band doesn't need you to be in the high frequency spectrum as a bass player tho, just say
