    It has been mentioned a lot of times that the Stingray5 doesn't sound quite like the regular stingray. What is the difference in the sound? And why doesn't they sound the same?

    Hey.

    My Opinion:

    Fact: The Stingray 5 is more a Sterling 5 than a Stingray 5.

    Fiction: You can´t get the "Stingray-Sound" out of the Stingray5.

    The Stingray5 has a 3-Way Selector Switch for the Pickup and a 3-Band E.Q.. Thats the same electronics as in the Sterling, but not as the Ray. But Setting the Pickup to Parallel, Boosting the Lows and Cutting a bit of the highs will give you the original Stingray Vibe (at least with my great `Ray).

    I am the proud owner of a Stringray5 and a Sterling. My experience with those instruments is exactly the same as Davids.
