Well, it's good to hear from a company that cares. Most companies don't have the guts to stand up for their product. Even fewer who are international and defend work from overseas. Impressive. Even if I don't buy a bass from you now, I'm a future customer. I standby what I found in the iPad...

Bump. Hoping for response from Sterling. Hoping I'm missing something, but my ears don't like what they hear for an $800 bass. Perhaps they specifically tuned the pups to work well with a specific type of bass amp? The electronics sounded only a tiny bit smoother/fuller than a Squier bass VI...

The dips in volume are there because there's zero compression going on, and zero processing happening on the signal. All of these basses sound 10x better once they go through some sort of tone contouring pre-amp. Here, they are simply being lined in through a flat Audio Interface. Depending on...

Here it is: hover over the little golden comments I made to see what bass is playing. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Okay, it's all set. Just need SoundCloud to come back online and I'll put everything up.

I recorded like 8 more basses, and took my time to set a flat tone on parallel, and did my best to eq it to get as close as possible to an EBMM, really took my time and took multiple passes. Among the two new EBMM and Ray35, I also tested a schecter session5, Lakeland skyline 5501, Fender...

Again, both ebmm and ray 35 were set at series on the 3 way. I personally could find great uses for all 4 basses, but the bs about the electronics being the same specs as the music man does not come through in my simple line in testing. I really, really wanted to get the Ray35 because I was...

Trust me, they were both played with fingers, I had no pick. I double checked the eq in all 4 basses, rolled them back and forth to get in the middle. The strings freshness, none of them were brand new, this is a guitar center/Sam ash in Manhattan..... they get played constantly, and I know...

I mean, in this case it's not even that it "doesn't sound as good" it's that it sounds ENTIRELY different as it's being described by people recommending the bass. I'm sure you could dial it in a little better with some EQ, but the flat response is always going to be the most important tone of...

Exactly, if they shared the same parts and schematics the difference in tone would be minimal...but it's not even close....a freaking Fender Jazz sounds more like the EBMM than the Ray does.

I recently was shopping for basses and tested out several basses and was told by nearly everyone from sales staff to people here saying that the $799 Sterling Ray was "same parts underneath as a Music Man, just made in Indonesia". The fit and finish On the Sterling was pretty good, and I was...

Very much appreciate your input, the ability to flip it if I'm looking for something else in a few years hadn't crossed my mind. I put up the clips to contribute to others who may be looking the same way I am in the future, it's kind of an objective way to decide which bass sounds the way you...

Hey guys, I tested a Yamaha TRBX, Fender Deluxe Jazz MIM, Sterling Ray35, and a $1,800 Music Man Stingray. Sorry for the crap playing, hard to hear the click track/anything in a loud music store. All 5 bangers. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or...

Also, wanted to put out there how thin the Ibanez ATK 805e was on the bridge humbucker. Unless you're blending that sucker with the middle single coil the CAP bridge humbucker sounds like absolute crap. Almost seems like an oversight in engineering. Loved the look, and wanted to buy in on it's...
