man, the g&l l2000 is probably my favorite leo Fender design, my only grasp with it is that a 24 fret version isn't available.

I would really like to hear if there is a difference in the tone of the original and the new one. Too bad you didn't make a comparison.

As usual, nice bass, but way over-priced.

Dear Lord! That tone right from the beginning. Wow!

Just got one of these in black. It's exceptional. I'm a big Stingray fan, and there is something a little magical about the 2EQ that the later models (though still good) don't quite match. It is a really cool feeling to buy a new Music Man that is identical in every respect to what you could get back in the late 1970s.

It's a real shame that you didn't compare the original and the new replica when you already had the chance. Hardly anyone will be able to do that...

Awesome basses I have a 78 stingray and a 80s one .. just dial in the eq and you have everything tone wise ..

Awesome demo 😎🤘🏻🎸 these stingray basses has such phenomenal tones. It especially sounds killer with distortion

Great playing… doing it justice!

Nice bass guitar 🎸 Fantastic sound effects

The wood of the body is amazing

"AIRCRAFT CARRIERS OF THE BASS WORLD" woah that statement blew me away! I don't have much seat time with a stingray but i am going to need to track one down ASAP after that claim!

My first MM looks exactly the same as that new one. I bought it off the wall, $500 brand new. 1981. Still holds up. Mainly use my MM 5 strings on gigs. My Orange one sounds better than my blur/spare…. Plus I have also a Fretless MM Stingray 5. Awesome basses. On ALL Styles of music.

WOW NICE BASS

I would love a direct comparison with the original '78, if possibile with the same strings! that would be amazing thx

What does Kai say regarding the differences between the old one he bought and the new one?

Hey man I had my own 78 with me and compared the three basses before we started filming. Initially I liked Gregor’s and my old Stingrays better as they sounded played in, but the new bass grew on me. In the end all 3 basses are awesome. They range from Bernard Edward’s Chic style rather vintage- ish tones to Rage Against the Machine, they all do what you want them to.

CBS Fender implemented the neck tilt feature sloppily/inconsistently but I never had a problem with the three bolt design on original Musicman or G&L basses.

What’s it like 1,200?

As an American I request that all weights be provided in bananas.

Beautiful but I can't justify paying 3k for it and at that price the price of the originals just went up

So is the g-string still perilously close to the edge of the fretboard? I had a stingray five and I had to sell it because I kept pulling the g string off the fretboard because it's just right there on the edge

This model can NOT have this kind of problem because: 1) this series has 4 strings models only, your problem can exist with 5 strings models only 2) it's a 70 vintage model, your problem existed with the old 5 string Special models. In general, you can see before buying if you will have that problem looking to the G string on the pics on the websites (if it's too close to the egde)

How could you tease us with your black 70s Stingray and not compare the two! Follow up video maybe?

There's something about the Stingray's growl that just beats every other bass IMO. How does this new model differ from the Stingray Classic?

Please we need the tabs for the slap bass part at 4:57 I wonder what's the point of a 3 bolt attachment? How is it better than a 4 bolt one? The prices are absolutely ridiculous anyway, I wonder what their margins are.

@@basstheworldofficial but is the neck body connection not in fact actually worse than a stiffer and more solid 4 bolt attachment? Music Man must have switched to the latter one for a reason. And what about the tabs? Those cool little bass tracks surely are not impovised but written down. Tabs for them would definitely make the channel more popular.

Kinda cool, but people should know about G&L, Leo Fender's last company where he made his best designs, like the L2000, the L1000 and the Megaton. They blow EBMM away, and for less money. Demo an L2000 with its amazing preamp, and people will love it!

It sounds nasty. In a good way of course. I bought a sandberg California central a couple months back (Which cost me less than half of the stingray price) and frequently get the question if it sounds like a stingray. I mean, I guess? Would you wonderful people be able to make a tone comparison video? Thx. Groove on.

Lovely looking and sounding, I would imagine Lovely playing too but unless they do something about their prices they're going to find themselves being undercut by one of the big bang for buck budget brands. People care less about what's written on the headstock than VFM. Pay attention Music Man or ignore at your own peril

It's a 70's precision I had for £300 from a junk shop... sound and looks!! 😮

Got a 1998 StingRay last month, amazing instrument, and I love it. But their G-Strings are weak, which I can't get to fix even with optimal pickup height. Even using .50 gauge Strings doesn't change the fact that the G-String lacks low end... and I can hear that in the demos done in this video as well.
