Sort of To me he is saying G is not weak but thinner and part of Sound that makes the Stingray from the beginning with Leo's design and many liked which got Stingray going and yes you either like it or not as with most things; lots of players don't like Jazz, Precisions, Gibsons, Ric's Etc.; So What

The majority of Stingray players don't hear weak G but Stingray tone and are very content

IME whether in the Wild, on Recordings, Video's most players have no problem with 'G' being weak or buried in mix and it's snappy[thinish] sound is heard clearly [as somewhat with 'D'] and Sounds like a Stingray

Sterling and his company have made first rate, well built and excellent sounding basses for what 4 decades with good success and the Special is doing Great

I see your point, but ultimately Sterling Ball kind of ate his words and redesigned the StingRay to address the weak G and the unable-to-dial-out zinginess by creating the Special and doing away with the previous 3-bands entirely.
But this is a Sadowsky thread, so I'll say no more (here) about StingRays!

I’d be interested if it’s a NYC model. Very cool.

I do not anticipate Roger making a NYC 6. He’ll likely refer interested parties to Warwick.
