Very, very nice!

I'm particularly a fan of the 3-band eq in my '01 Sterling, I find midrange frequencies to be a big part of my live sound. I wonder if EBMM tweaked the eq points on their 3-band eq too?

 

[Runnerman]

Great vid! Makes me want to start saving for one.

Wow... if Sterling and the boys keep after it, they'll eventually get to where boutique builders have been for years.

8 lbs is better than 10. Glad to see further innovation and improvements in the StingRay

Yes, He mentions they did in that video.

 

[AngelCrusher]

They make great ads and really nice basses.

At a quick glance, they look similar, but I saw a few at Sweetwater's Gear Fest this year and I was blown away at how awesome they felt. I wish I played it longer and had more information for the various threads on them.

"We can make this sound like any vintage bass you've ever heard."

Is that true?

This guy can make it "thump"

Can it get a Pbass sound ala Willie Weeks?

 

[Scott Ball]

Give it a listen ... fwd to 2:30

 

[ItsmeSantiago]

I can't wait to play one. The finish options are really good.

 

[Hambone70]

Like the 5... but... shame about the massive pickguard.

Question: Why are there scores of J- and P-bass clones, but very few (if any) Stingray clones?

 

[MultiScaleMale]

Any work with Hipshot to have a d-tuner made?

 

[somebrains]

People will hate neo pickups and fetishize ceramics.
Theres no pleasing everyone.

 

[Runnerman]

They are still using Rosewood and Ebony for dark boards which I like also

John Hall is a monster player !

Played a five at the local guitar center. Lot of cool improvements/changes however I don’t like the bridge. Reminds me of the old Wilkinson bridge carvin used to use. The bridge plate is not grooved so the saddles can move side to side easily. Don’t care for that.

 

[Stranger Danger]

Just the Stingrays then? No improvements on the Sterlings?
