Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray Special 4HH test drive

[@Super_Saiyen_Potato]

Legit the best demo of this bass "or any bass" online, this sounds amazing, great playing, great great sound. and thanks for not having a 2 minute animated intro with 3 minutes of talking before you play and having 5 minutes of things to say between every tone switch. Everyone on youtube doing guitar demos needs to watch this video and treat it as their bible. Took me way longer than i wanted to find a straight good demo of this bass. thanks for existing,

Thank you for your kind words, glad this is helpful.

Also, no effects on the signal so we can actually, y'know, hear what the instrument actually sounds like.

[@doitwithb]

nice and crisp tone

Nice video! I have an StingRay 5 in Blue on back order with Sweetwater , hope I get it next month sometime! Can’t wait!!

[@tree-style]

with the bridge pickup soloed does it give the same sound as the 4H (single pickup)? Some reviews say it doesn't quite get there. What are your impressions of the bridge pickup soloed?

[@tree-style]

close enough I'd say .. these Stingray Specials nailed that 'Stingray' thing in a refined way and they're very consistent ... I believe (like 70% sure) they move the bridge pickup position on the HH models to the identical to where the single H sits .. they used to be offed by a bit that I'm pretty sure ... in reality, the output impedance will never be the same because of the extra wires and pu, and also the extra magnetic field on the neck PU will more or less affect the vibration .. I don't believe they'll be identical to the Single H model but close enough .. and the HH does offer alot more usable sounds . If I'm really after a Stingray sound, the single H would do. those are wild and has its magic .. if it's your only bass, and you're planning to do different style of music then the HH can cover more ..

Don’t know the exact figure but I bet it counts about 3,000 or so

Sometimes I just want to hear a tutorial without talking. Sweet bro

What strings did you use on this bass?

[@tree-style]

should be a fresh set of daddario nickel

[@DmitryShultz]

Would be nice to actually see that 5 position selector switch

[@tree-style]

sorry about my half ass test drive .. I'm focusing on the bridge pickup only as that's the Stingray thing. I would say it is a versatile bass. fat pillowy sound on the neck H, the mid scoopy inner and outer coils on both pickups for that jazz style, this bass can do that all. Just me being lucky that able to own several basses, I can find the right instrument for the right sound rather than finding 1 bass to do it all . This bass is top notch, but the configuration needs time to learn and get used to .. I'd recommend a singleH Stingray for its simplicity . Cheers!

Parallel position 1 is all you need.

[@tree-style]

That’s what stingray is all about.

[@andrewcrossman2165]

Could I buy a lower end stingray, then put the highest end pick up in it myself. Because the specials a little above my pay grade. 🫤

[@tree-style]

I’d say save up for a used one. Many of the ebmm ray’s from the 90s, early 2000 are really nice and you can often find them at a deal. I personally like the heavy ones. Imo, ebmm makes the best mm style basses but their parts are proprietary and not available to the public. It’s also the overall build of the whole package that makes them famous
