    Stingray Special with Twisted Neck?

    That makes the most sense at this point. It’s not a twisted neck...just needs a better setup.

    Stingray Special with Twisted Neck?

    At this point it's just not worth it. Ive already shipped it back. I think the key is talking to a better tech on a better setup. but it's worth letting them know. once the bass EQ is turned up and recorded, you can't hear the buzz....it's just the principle that's like ***...

    Stingray Special with Twisted Neck?

    Welp! Couldn't be more disapointed with Musicman ErnieBall!! -They called from the factory and said that there were some minor issues with the frets. no issues with the neck -said they have it now "set up", and that no string buzz with the action set to factory specs -they would ship back to...

    Stingray Special with Twisted Neck?

    Sending it back to Musicman since it's still under warranty. We'll see what they say. Hopefully they can admit the neck is in fact twisted and replace it.

    Stingray Special with Twisted Neck?

    Hi, Purchased Stingray Special from Musicians Friend in November 2021. Nice Bass. Got a pro setup after I got it with DR Low Rider RoundWounds. Bass felt great. Obviously the new roundwound strings had their classic buzziness to them as expected. A couple months later I decided I wanted to...

    I have seen vintage stingrays that have a similar look to it. You could find one in natural, and put a white humbucker on it w a black pickguard and it would have the same look. Assuming you could find a white humbucker... Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special 4 H | Gilberto 's Bass Depot |...

    Musicman Stingray BFR Passive in Okoume review

    Hey Needenaneden, My advice on the stingray is to find a nice one used. Single Humbucker 4 string. I am looking at a couple on Reverb now - around $1200. That's what I would do if I didnt own one already. New they are gonna be pricy. But soundwise, I prefer the single humbucker active...

    Musicman Stingray BFR Passive in Okoume review

    It's an amazing instrument but I actually wound up returning it. Here's why: Up until recently my playing has been pretty dormant. I've owned a few different axes over the years but until this month, all I had to play was a '92 Yamaha BB200 (which actually sounds pretty good btw). Now I'm...
