I think i can forget about Fender already.. i dont know why i already started in love with the Ernie Ball series.. such a great guitar.
RJ, you're one of the very few guys I like to waych demo an axe. You seem honest and cool, dont ever change man.
I have a Stingray RS in stealth black. I changed the pickguard to tort and pickups to SD alnico 2 pros. Its my number 1. Ernie Ball Music Man makes the best necks in the business.
How is the tuning stability using the trem?
@@angusorvid8840 it's unbelievable
Even the Sterling necks are great
Pickup to string gap is 4/32nds both treble side and bass side for the bridge and 6/32nds treble to bass side for the neck pick up...that's the Music Man set up spec for that guitar..if you wanted to adjust it to our stock set up when it leaves the factory..
I've owned, and since sold, a JP15 but I still own a Luke III HSS. Music Man really makes quality guitars. The necks and fretwork just feel really nice.
RJ... I have learned that you make everything you demo sound good - as always, thank you...
That finish is stunning!
Please do a update when/if you move the pick ups, be interesting to hear what difference it makes.
Looks and sounds like an excellent 'toolkit' kind of guitar, a solid working guitar for studio or writing. Great demo, R.J.
I love music man necks I had a jp and loved it I only sold it because it looked black to red sparkle sunburst in the music store but when I got it home it looked purple, not that there’s a problem with purple and it didn’t stop me from playing it for years but eventually sold it to a good home but I miss it. Good choice R.j hope it brings you happiness.
I've had my JP16 for years now. It will live forever in my hands! Its never let me down on a gig. I have a Sterling as a backup.
I had a sterling SR I gave to my brother. The pickups are so beefy and spanky it's incredible, I've been chasing that neck pickup tone ever since. The neck even on the cheap ones is phenominal.
Sterlings are honestly nowhere near the standard of the real thing
Bro! To have a music man guitar and to not use the tremolo is like having a Ferrari that you only drive 55 mph. The Music Man tremolos are so comfortable and they stay in tune like a champ. I would highly recommend you give it a shot! Great playing. Beautiful guitar👍🏽😃
BEAUTIFUL man!!! Congratulations, looking forward to seeing and hearing it more.
Dude, That is a blue sparkle Danno ?! oh boy get down oh yeah Love to see that.
Great demo, you're a very tasteful player, and some relevant details, although I really enjoy the pick ups, that slight Telecaster "ckk" feel would be hard to achieve with other pick ups. I like it when you say "a little bit of gain" and then play with a little bit of gain unlike most of the internet which think that phrase means blasting the amp. I'm playing the initial re-issue with the plain maple neck, having tried the RS figured maple and rosewood neck versions. The RS is impossible to make out the fret dots under stage lighting, the rosewood just didn't sing to me like the traditional maple neck, I feel the harmonics flow more naturally. I'm still very happy with the stock pick ups nearly 3 years later, you won't find that ckkk with a Seymour Duncan
I do like the gear videos. I also really like the Saturday morning coffee time. Will be at the state dog show tomorrow and will miss it. Love your channel!
Very nice! I have a couple Sterlings. (I’m not a professional like you) Well, I’m a professional registered nurse, but not a professional musician. lol They are impressive so I can only imagine the real deal.
I really like the color and it is a music man!! How lucky for RJ!!
Awesome axe man congrats🥳, music mans sparkle finishes are killer. I am eyeballing my doorstep waiting for my Stingray bass in snowy night 5 string (I already own the 4 string version).😎🤘
Cool guitar. I have the atomic orange version, it’s super nice. The neck is amazing.
That bridge pickup sound amazing through overdrive. Like Van Halen.
I agree with you about the pickups. I had an earlier model and loved everything about it, except the pickups - sounded thin and a little dull.
Interesting, I have a MM stingray and the pickups sing! Love that guitar
RJ - that's a great sounding guitar!
That is a rad ass color. I have never seen one like that.
Actually, I didn’t think the pickups sounded too bad, but I agree that it could use some humbuckers with a little more “oomph.”
Right up my alley. Love it
Still got the StingRay, R.J.? You seemed to be on the fence in this video.
Goodness do I want one!!
Really good review!
Have you replaced the pickups since then?
I adore Music-Man designs and quality and really want another one. However.....the 10" radius continues to be a deal breaker. Same with PRS.....why is it so hard for these guys to offer at least a 12" radius? Owned a Luke 2, Axis SS, & Silhouette Special......sold them all eventually. Would love to own a Cutlass or Stingray model......but damn that "10 radius sucks. imo. The Luke 2 was pretty good.....but the EMG's & vintage size frets kept it from being a keeper. The Luke 3 has better frets & pup choices for sure.
Congrats, she’s a beauty
That black hardware, wow! I mean, Wow!
$2,700.00 USA price wow! Awesome! 🎶👍🏻
Any demo of a guitar with a trem bridge should demonstrate the tuning stability. Otherwise, nice guitar, good demo.
Sounds exellent , thank You 👍🏻
Love me a stingray…killer guitar for a killer dude 😘
Holy crap, did that come out of the case IN TUNE????
Didn't Brad Nowell play a simar guitar ?
If I may say, the sounds seems to be not in your favor. It is 'thick' sounding.
I had same issue with my other guitar, however after an EQ pedal after my drive pedal, the 'thickness' is well control.
I LOVE Music Man guitars. Have yet to find a guitar that feels better to me. I have a Cutlass RS HSS and an Axis Super Sport (so far).
Both of mine are light (around 7 pounds). How much does that Stingray weigh?
pretty color
Nice bro! Yeah I was looking at that model too at Sweetwater, but I decided to go with the silver burst aka "The Governor" color one that they're only making 75 of. I had planned on swapping out at the very least the bridge pickup anyway.
Really nice!! Is it as blue as it seems on screen?
They will Bring it to Life, no one makes Pickups like, Kurtis Lamberton.
Do you notice the slimmer nut width? Is it more cramped when chording?
It's slimmer feeling than something like a Fender, but it's still comfortable for my hands.
It sounds great as it is dude
Hi! Thanks for sharing! Great review! Did you changed the pickups? I read on your Sweetwater review that you raised the Pickups and lower the action a bit but I am wondering in how much did it changed or finally you decided to swap them for another thing? Currently I'm on the waiting list to get that one. I would definitely would like the option to split the coils to have a "single" pickup in the neck (kind of like the Dustin Kensrue model).
Really cool review! Currently I have a jp15 and the neck feels right for my small hands but I have my eyes on the sting ray, do you think the stingray ‘s neck is confortable / small like a jp15 or at least in the same world?? I don’t want big necks
Nice ax my friend!!
anyone think a 9v battery (24v mod) would fit in the 3 way switch cavity if I moved the 3 way switch down where the tone knob is?
Excellent video again. Enjoy your new axe.
Can you tell me what we are hearing, as in, is this recoded straight to your DAW via the Two Notes (or some other outboard mix)? Thanks!
I was going to ask you about your thoughts on Music Man guitars as I just bought my first one (Luke 3) and I remember you had a JP16. Awesome guitar RJ!
Nice! I almost got that model. How are you liking it?
@@RJRonquillo i love it! It’s pretty versatile. I was actually thinking about String Ray too.
@@RJRonquillo
Dude! Where did you get that KISS desk light? Does it change colors? LEDs or traditional bulb? BTW, love the look of this guitar! It would’ve been a lot cooler if it had black chrome hardware.
Nice content 💯
Did you ended up swapping pickups? If yes what did you went for? I bought stingray over a year ago, love the quality and neck feel but I’m a little underwhelmed with the sound, I’ve played with the pickup height but it still sounds a little tiny :/ thanks!
Btw love your playing and videos!
$2700 and it needs decent pickups. A tip- when Sweetwater all of a sudden has ONE guitar available, after stating the guitar was a month or two away......it's likely a return. Of course, they charge full price for it.
It's quite possible. If it was a return, it was still new condition. Plastic on the pickguard, case candy envelope still sealed.
Very fine Axe.
The gain is like the typical AC/DC sound...
Yoooooo I think I asked u this before a few years ago but do you still have this? And if you do, let’s do some trading lol.
Im done buying guitars that dont care enough about the tone to put decent pickups in a guitar let alone adjust them!! thanks for the demo!
is that a Harmony amp behind you?
Yes, I just released a demo video yesterday.
Did you have Sweetwater plek it for you? Do you think it's worth it?
I thought the hat he was wearing said jizz, that is all.
Would it be a sin to put non Ernie Ball strings on a Ernie Ball guitar? I don't know cause I only use Slinkys anyways.
this is what buyer's remorse sounds like
Cool color. I have to admit EBMM are high quality. However, there's always one thing about their guitars, regardless of the model, that could feel/sound/look better in my opinion when I play them.
Before you swap the pickups, just sell me the guitar lol. 😎
I have a music man RS as well 2016 model. the pickups are def not the best for a $2500 guitar.. Seymour Duncan SH-8n Invader Neck Humbucker Pickup spanks ;)
So you find the radius too small and you'll change the pickups... basically you don't like the 2 things that make a guitar 😂
The body is just cosmetic, sure you can start with that and change the rest...
The radius I'm used to now, but I've got new pickups on the way. I'm a serial pickup changer.
@@RJRonquillo Hey! Have one and am thinking about swapping pickups. They are not bad, but I feel like it could be better. Let us know what you put in.
Just review the guitar please.
🐴 No sir, I don't like it. But it's a color thing, red, black, and most blues are pretty much a no go at this station 🙃
Wait til tomorrow's live stream, I got a surprise for you!
