Beautiful bass. Thank you for your demo and explanation. You’re a really great bassist 🤟

awesome demo man! almost at 50k subs, started watching when you had less than 10k, just wow:)

Love your playing on bass! This passion, oh!

That is the perfect sting ray of all time. Has all the new features but with the coolest bridge of all time!

new neck countour + old high mass bridge is just... mwah 🖤

Not gonna lie, I’m super jealous. Timmy C is a major influence. Awesome that you got your hands on one of those!

he used a Musicman on the first album..then used fender jazz basses up til a few years ago then came back to the stingray....well deserved Tim rules !

I need one so badly!!!! He’s the reason I play and own stingray basses!! I need this!!

Yes Timmy’s been a beast for so long!

I love Stingrays and what a bass! This model is all about sobriety in combination with efficiency! Great great great job Musicman

Been waiting on this (I figure it would come at some point). I also like that the thumb rest screws down flat and level to the pickguard (I’d use it, but smart to think of a way to get rid of it). I just wish the natural colored one was also active.

Awesome vid! 👊🏽😎 My neck hurts

Cada vez me estoy enamorando mas del Musicman Stingray, talvez no esta version signature por el precio, pero el sonido es inmenso, ademas tu polera AND BASS FOR ALL buenisimaaaaa

An underrated bass player. Always serves the song. The MMS is a future must buy. Nothing sounds like it..killer in the mix.

I thought you were Tim influenced.... love it Great demo Patrick

Nice playing 👍

Thanks y'all.

I’m looking forward to getting my stingray 34 HH model with a burl top and satin black.. base has a perfect tone with a great punch

Found one, a passive shorty (#23 of 50) in a guitar boutique in Estonia. Mine, now! 🎸👍

What about the ramp? Is it able to be adjusted right under the strings? I would’ve like to see you talk more about that.

YEAHHH

Do you know of anyone who makes the finger ramps separately? I'd love to put them on my stingray & sub basses. great video man :)

What distortion pedal was you using?

So, the bass clip @ 7:33 I admit to being quite out of the loop with the cool music, but what was it? Really loved that groove.

I may have missed this in your review, but do you know if the active model uses the new "Stingray Special" preamp or the older, brighter sounding preamp?

For differents type of a signature model, you have the Hammer, Stu Ham signature by Washburn that have a few different color and pick up configuration. I have one, and they really are good

Tim is an amazing fingerstyle bassist

I couldn’t agree more about the stingray neck. There is just something about it that I can’t quite put my finger on. I have a p Bass and jazz as well but they’re just not quite as comfortable as the stingray, they really found that sweet spot

I don't think its over priced compared to the base SR4 Special, I just think the base price of EBMM is too much these days.

I know, I feel that the stingray sweet spot is a bit closer to the neck than the pickup itself.

I think I'd rather have the EMBB StingRay Special HH. Not only is it significantly cheaper than this signature model, but it's offered in more interesting colors. And the dual humbuckers give you more tonal options. I like that this one includes the string mutes and the finger ramp, but you can buy and put those on yourself separately for much cheaper.

Hate stingrays but you made them sound good.

Nice as this is I don't think I'll afford anything more than a sterling
