I like how they adjusted the Bass, Mid, and Treble controls while the musician was playing. It helped with noticing the changes vs. stopping and then starting, since it was mid-flight. Nice.

I may have a problem. I own 3 of these new Stingrays. They’re amazing. My son is worried I’m gonna buy every finish

Michael Jordan you can get a lot out of one tonally. Especially the HH model, could pretty much cover anything. I personally can’t be without a P bass, and having a Stingray (single H, 2 band) along with it is all I need. I love their characteristic tone and don’t really look at them as “swiss army knife” basses. They can both do pretty much anything though.

I love mine. Mine is the Stingray 5h in charcoal sparkle and it's the best 5 string. Definitely a must have in anyone's arsenal. Thanks for the video and keep up the amazing work as always

Sounds amazing and great playing by Lars as always!

They really sound amazing! Great job from Musicman

My wallet really didn't want me to watch this

Love the new Stingrays and your channel!

What's impressive is the completeness of thought that went into re-engineering their legacy design. A bold move that has paid off. I love everything about the new models, however, the cost may be a barrier for some time. It is what it is, but at least I have a favorite for future consideration.

Still love the old Stingrays. I have a black HH maple board & BFR roasted neck rosewood board. Me personally I love a heavier bass. But I think I would have to try a new one. Great review I like your reviews they are so informative.

i love your channel. your guys' reviews are seriously amazing, please don't ever stop lol.

Thanks for another excellent video Gregor.

great job guys, awesome video. more people should do videos like this. you got a new sub too.

Good for them! I always wanted to like Stingrays more than I really did, but the weight and neck dive were kind of turn offs for me. I'll definitely keep an eye out for one of these!

That is a great sounding bass.

For the longest time I thought I liked the StingRay Classic the most. Then they released this series and now I'm thinking about the Special HH. I think they fits my style better. I'm not a slap guy.

much better neck, good job MM ! been on mine for 22 years, This is the first time I'm tempted to move on... That insane agressive sound, Leo was a genius, hard to change something not broken. Gutsy. But upper neck access is needed theses days. So pumped !

Lars is such a badass on a stingray. Well done

Bought the ruby satin the second I saw it! I just so happen to have wanted a Stingray for many years and I was watched/listining to Louis Johnson the night before. The RAY4 was discounted to $250 . My sails dude told me about the $50 off because it was a floor model(waiting for me). My dude said she might have some scratches or dings. NOPE! Perfection! Her name is “Ruby Tuesday”😎🤘🏼

Great bass

I just ordered one yesterday. I have yet to hear anyone say anything "to the credit of the old design" in comparison to these new ones. Cruz Teal is my lifeblooood.

Yeaahhhhh, that's it... i love 5 string version but 4 string it's quite good bass

Great. What do you think, its better to choose with ebony or maple frettboard to play metal? Is the sound much different?

What camera do you guys use? I'm interested in starting my own channel doing bass vids like what y'all do. Also, I'm on a slight budget, so any cheaper options that are good would be nice!!

I want one of these more than anything

I can't afford a real stingray. So i bought a sterling music man stingray ray34 ash black and its just as good maybe even better at half the price. Love the music man

Thanks Gregor. I got a 4H in January and you’re tellling me it’s obsolete now? 😂 Nice video.

Love all the new features but for me the price is through the roof nowadays. Four years ago I managed to snag one of the last new 133 series USA 2EQ StingRays for £1k. These Specials are more than twice that.

What overdrive is that at about the 2 min mark? Sounds great would really like to know.

That charcoal sparkle is beautiful!

How did you record? Directly to the soundboard or with a amp?

‚It wökt wöwi wöwi wäll‘ 😂😂😂 I got a HH aqua sparkle and a stingray 5 from 2003. Very different instruments. The old guy is really heavy andt the overall playabillity is not as good as the new guy. When it comes to sound, they are also completely different, but it‘s hard to describe the difference. Both sound great for sure.

Only thing I don't like about the new Stingray is the bridge, everything else is great. I think the bridge on the previous model is the best one, even better than the classic bridge, IMO.

Does it have the same but width as the old Stingrays? Thanks.

I absolutely love Music Man Stingrays!!!!...period!!...hands down they are impressive Basses to players & audiences!!! Hope to own ANY version!!...for now tho’....I’m rocking my..... Music Man “Bongo” Bass!!..🎶✨🎸👍🏾 Do a review on one of these Basses too ok!!...✌🏽

Od and fuzz the lows and mids that and be unstoppable.

Don't get me wrong: I love EBMM basses and I am lucky enough to have 4 of them at home. However, I have been wondering if this thermo treatment of the wood (and again: two of my EBMM basses have roasted necks) is not just a smart and overall cheaper way of getting the wood dried instead of storing it for years and years.

@@edchaos2679 I finally tried one in-store. I've owned a StingRay since 2003 and it is one of my favourite basses. The build quality and reliability (except the output jacks, which always sucked) are on par with my custom shop fender jazz. The new StingRay severely disappointed me, with all the hype. It doesn't feel like a StingRay. They even cheaped out on the pickup cover. Roasted maple is such a gimmick, crappier maple going through a mock aging process. I haven't looked at mussicman instruments seriously since Sterling Ball took over and brought that stupid bongo bass.

The blue bass is kinda cringe but i like the Black one

9 days after I got mine, they decide to change it.
