Now, a G&L video is in order.
As usual, nice bass, but way over-priced.
I'm actually wondering how do they still sell instruments, crazy prices
@@xMTLKx name, marketing
I recently got into cycling and I now find bass gear stuff MUCH MUCH better value than before, including this bass.
Get a Sire z7, they sound 👍😃
@@oscarsantos2608 I have a few Sire's - probably just as good!
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.
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.
Dear Lord! That tone right from the beginning. Wow!
"Freedom kilos"... LOL LOL LOL!
Last time Grigor mentioned Freedom Kilos, a guy came along and just exploded with indignation, and within three comments he was lecturing us all about world domination and the rest of us learning to know when we are subjugated 😂. Hope he comes back, it was hilarious!
alles was Kai Lemke spielt ist der absolute Hammer. Und dieses Bassface!
I don't even speak German and this made perfect sense to me
Wow 3666 Euros 😭
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
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.
Great playing… doing it justice!
"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!
The wood of the body is amazing
Reign Supreme!
WOW NICE BASS
So it's more like a submarine?
This may be my chance to finally own a Stingray!
I would love a direct comparison with the original '78, if possibile with the same strings! that would be amazing thx
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.
Nothing takes pedals better than a Stingray
I hope this is meant as a joke. Most pedals struggle with the high output volume
@@basstheworldofficial my experience is with Darkglass and sansamp and my stingray sounds better through them than my other basses. In fact it was this going through a compressor first then out to a markbass rig that got me several compliments on my tone playing out. No one ever complimented my p j bass tone through the same rig.

Sansamp can do it all and Darkglass are specifically designed with high output basses in mind. Most other analog pedals struggle with StingRays
I haveTHE 1978 MUSIC MAN STINGRAY BASS AND ❤️IT
Dude a 78 foot s one of my dream basses
How did you get the natural as it was an online only available bass. I ordered the vintage sunburst at Thomann on the 8 of april, will receive it later in the year
Music Man sent me the bass
I get it style wise, but surely the 4 bolt on neck is an improvement as is truss rod access at other end?
Yes and yes
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.
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
Well, you could get your left hand technique right or get a new nut with a slightly narrowed spacing.
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)
I have a StingRay Classic with this problem
@@martinheath5947 4 strings?
Never had a g problem on a Stingray 4 string. Just the 5 string. However, after a few months of playing it, never had an issue. Practice is good
Hmm more iconic duo...
The ampeg 8x10 and the dreaded staircase! 😅
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.
It’s not better, it’s vintage accurate
@@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.
Yeaaahhh ❤❤❤❤
As an American I request that all weights be provided in bananas.

FINALLY!!! Nice, the first Ernie Ball copy of a Stingray to actually sound and look like one!
What?
Well, Ernie Ball did play Fenders but Fender designed (and built) the Stingray. Please don’t mention Sterling, he was just lucky to test them.
(One of a few including Louis Johnson. The ‘Old Smoothie’ concept was Leo’s, first implemented on the Jazzmaster and Jazz Bass prototypes)
Just confused by your phrasing. I don’t think anyone else considers these copies. Ernie Ball MM makes the StingRay, not a copy of the StingRay. They didn’t buy licenses. They bought the company. That’s just a point of view of course
I’m aware of the business dealings behind it all. I consider them copies. They (EB) have the Bongo, Big Al etc, but I doubt even those would have had the traction if not for Leo’s Stngray.
Always loved the sound & feel but I can't handle the heft anymore....
Your back must be aging like mine. I'm very glad that newer gear is getting lighter.
Mine weighs right around 9 lbs, or about the weight of a usual jazz bass. I've seen some very light Stingray Specials though.
I have a 2008 SR5 HH that weighs 11 pounds! I don't play it live very often anymore because of the weight and my aging back.
The Stingray EX (MIJ w/USA hardware) is a lighter and cheaper option if you find one.
Buy a stingray special. I have one that weighs 8.7 lbs.
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?
What’s it like 1,200?
How could you tease us with your black 70s Stingray and not compare the two! Follow up video maybe?
Beautiful but I can't justify paying 3k for it and at that price the price of the originals just went up
😍😍😍
I bet it’s still heavy
Around 10lbs
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
Wrong t-shirt 😉
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.
In my opinion this is true. I own one as well and that is something I always felt annoyed by
Stingray Special fixed that issue FYI
@@nickpicc Yeah I tried several of those and they are great, but the price is also great :DD Got mine for 1750€ in prestine condition, and the cheapest SR special goes for 3300€
@@ThatOtherAndi I hear you. I got a great deal on a new old stock one a couple years ago, paid $1600 which I still can't believe. Still my favorite bass but the new price is high for sure
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's hard to find G&L dealers in Europe and when you do, they barely stock any basses
My 79' Pre EB hangs on the wall, it's too heavy ........ it's yours at the right price.
Aunque soy más de Warwick no me importaría que me lo regalaran 😊
Music Man is on a downward slope for many years now. Soon, not many will be left to pay their insane asking prices. These have been skyrocketing for years now and the avarage Joe (me) just cannot understand why. Sterling by Musicman is hardly an alternative. So goodbye Big Poppa and EBMM. It was a nice for a while.
Lol they're doing very well.
BTW, not all of US do the silly "freedom units" thing. Just let it go by, untouched....
Never liked the pickup. Boring.
