ugh almost a year since this one was released and i still cannot get it out of my head. it's the perfect color/combo of aesthetics on and already-powerful instrument. I need to find one but there are so few out there. the dual HH pickups are where its at. so many tonal options. nice score !

[@LowEndLobster]

Thanks Thad!

[@DoktorRS66]

How useful would you say the dual pickup stingrays are? I'm pretty happy with my single pickup model but I'm always thinking of trying new stuff out

[@LowEndLobster]

Great question, Zach! They're very useful and add a ton of depth to the instrument without sacrificing the traditional Stingray tone.

[@keithgray7593]

Hi Lobster. A point to check on this bass. Watching on screen, my TV actually it looks to me that the neck might need relaxing and re-setting. There appears to be more fretboard exposed between the E and the edge of the board? More so than on the treble side. Also the strings are sitting right of centre of the neck pickup poles. I think relax and shift the neck over a smidge might sort both issues?

[@LowEndLobster]

Jeez, good eye! I never noticed ahaha. I think a relax and reset will do the trick. Thank you!

My first bass was a sub series sting ray. I’ve since played quite a few sting rays and I gotta say, the sting ray is the most naturally playing bass for me. Perfect string spacing and neck.

[@sebastiancabrol2014]

I don´t like the "luxury" look and golden hardware, but this thing sounds really good and seems also very versatile with the double humbucker configuration. I´ll check other models (just to suffer, i don´t have a penny)

[@LowEndLobster]

Thanks Sebastian! Indeed the HH is very flexible

[@chriswenkle2635]

Your musical test piece should be entitled 'drooling in the key of A'. Seriously though, that Music Man a very 'bling-y' looker of a bass, with the tone to match. That 18v preamp is really stout. I can see why it is your favorite. In the words of Monty Python, "and now for something completely different" I'd love to hear that Jerry Scheff Lakland I see on the wall during your intro. Great, fun video Mr. Lobster - as usual!

[@glennb3231]

Nice long awaited review Lobster. I recently picked up this bass in Tectonic Blue Sparkle with an ebony fret board after having some issues with the Olive colored Sterling HH Indonesian version. I was trying to get by on the cheap with an HH in my bass arsenal but it wasn't working for me. This is by far my favorite bass and I think it is well worth the extra price. My favorite position is still the Stingray parallel position and though I have another Special in the classic 4H configuration there is something about the way the ebony fret board sounds on my 4HH that gives it an edge even over my 4H. The knobs on both my Specials have a quality weighty feel to them and the tuners are the best I've ever used not to mention the superb flawless fret work.

[@LowEndLobster]

Awesome! Congrats Glenn! The Sterlings for the price are solid, but they do not compare to the higher end ones or the US counterparts while stock. I haven't tried one with the ebony board yet, but I want to! Enjoy it :)

[@OriginalTLab3000]

Beginning of the video: Dunno... looks kinda ugly.... End of the video: *drool* I want one right now!

[@christocr]

What do I think of it? Well... I'm lusting after it. I love Stingrays anyway, but that sparkle color and the gold hardware? Wow. Beautiful. Gonna have to get one before they are all gone. As you said, I'd doubt there will be any on the used market.

[@LowEndLobster]

Thanks Chris :)

[@KwonCW84]

Stingray with two pickups surely has more variety of tones, but I’ll stick with a Ray with only one pickup; it’s a matter of taste.

[@LowEndLobster]

Indeed! I definitely feel you, I'm a bit of a traditionalist with 'Rays myself :)

[@albundy2239]

Indeed, that's a very nice bass 🔥 Btw, do you never use a pick? Regarding some of your reviews I would have really liked to hear a pick sound (sorry, I know it's illegal). 😉

[@LowEndLobster]

Hey Al! Yes! You're going to see much more pick action coming up. I've shot a ton of new videos that feature picking and I am going to be picking in most of my reviews. You'll start seeing it more in a few weeks, I'm way too far ahead in terms of content that I've already shot and uploaded hahaha (essentially done through end of April)

[@albundy2239]

I dig the pickup selector and the variety of tones you get with it. Too bad that's not a more common feature of HH basses.

[@LowEndLobster]

Thanks John! I completely agree. I often feel that the 'blend' control in a HH instrument is uninspiring compared to what you see on the Ray HH's and the Dingwalls with the rotary switch.

[@goosegaskins]

Lobster, I’m 90% sure I’m about to take the Stingray plunge-that Amethyst Sparkle finish on the 2021 Special with the gold hardware is making me salivate-but I need that 10% extra push. I come from a P and J background, so I’m wondering if there’s anything you think Stingray noobs should know. Thanks!

[@LowEndLobster]

Hey Goose! Go for it, you'll enjoy the new tones available to you. The 5 way selector gives you a ton of flexibility to make a Stingray Special HH fit in almost anywhere.

[@goosegaskins]

@@LowEndLobster Thanks, Lobster! Oh, I’m thinking H, actually. I like all the room to strum and slap between the pickup and the neck.

@@LowEndLobster Wellllll, there's the rub: I'd be selling my Am Pro II Jazz Bass to get the Stingray. :-D Basically, the Stingray would be my one and only. I guess I'm looking for a bass that can be the centerpiece of my one-man band. I like to write songs on the bass, and then complement with guitar and synth.

[@martinoshinsky5713]

Any chance you happened upon a Darkhorse? I came across one but passed up the moment. I did however play a Stingray Special 4H Jackpot (black sparkle with gold hardware). It was the most magical moment I had experienced with an instrument since 1992, the year I came upon my first Stingray. Needless to say, I visited my local store Huber & Breeze (plug) for a set of Super Slinky's and ended up leaving the store with two sets of Super Slinky's. One set in the package, the other set on that bass. :). The prices are up a couple hundred since you posted this video but these basses are worth every penny.

[@dereklindsay9284]

Very informative Music Man Stingray Special 4HH BFR video. Do you find it just as easy to play slap bass with the dual Humbucker Pickups versus the singe Humbucker pickup? Thanks again for another great Bass Guitar Video.

[@LowEndLobster]

Thank you Derek! Great question. I don't find much issue slapping this. I find much more issue when the neck and neck pickup have no space between them. However, this bass has enough space for me to comfortably slap. YMMV

Thanks njtguy! Though I agree with you on the weight for regular Stingrays and Classics, all 3 SR specials that I have are well under 9 lbs with one being in the low 7's. My Classics are all 10+ and my standard is in the mid 9's.

Hey, does the neck PU get in the way when slapping?

[@LowEndLobster]

Honestly, not on this bass. However basses where the fingerboard is right against the neck pickup give me trouble

[@ryanpetriello3461]

The inner coils sound (position 2) is so goddamn funky. It has kind of the vibe of both a 4001/3 and a jazz bass but not quite as scooped, almost like it's a J-bass neck pickup with a Rick bridge pickup.

[@tremor1001]

Looking into getting one of these but none of the stores that carry MM have some on hand, so i would have to special order one, im conflicted between the H and HH. That said, there was a 5 stringer in a used music store that i went and checked out today (im looking for a 4). A few things i noticed was 1) the pickup spacing for slap is problematic on the HH for me, but im not a huge slapper. 2) The G string was slipping off the fingerboard because it was so close to the edge and the fret slope being around the same area that is left. Have you noticed this happening on either of your specials on a 4 string version? or is the fretboard a bit more generous with more room without the extra string crowding things. Personally i thought the Pre-amp was surprisingly tame for a 18v preamp. On my warwick i can go to the extremes where there is so much treble its obnoxious, and i dial it back from there, but its there if i need it. I wonder if this is by design though because i definately couldn't get a bad sound out of the bass. I was also hoping the 5-way switch would be more dramatic of a tonal difference but i was mainly interested i the classic stingray tone of just bridge, then potentially the jazz style coil tapping (i mostly play jazzes now), overall there was a change but the position for bridge and that JBass tapping sounded pretty similar to me (which sounded great!) so im leaning towards the classic single pickup one! Anyways, thanks for all your videos, not only are you thorough and objective, but I just love your personality and enthusiasm you bring to these videos!

[@jmsmikey]

Well, there's the gold hardware I was looking for on the Charvel!

[@daviddesmond2143]

Another You Tube guy did a review comparing a Stingray H to the HH. His verdict was the HH could not do the single H pickup sound and that you could not slap on the HH because the neck pickup was in the way. I don't agree with him owning both the H and HH as I get the tone and no interference slapping, but he proclaims himself a wizard and really disses the HH in his video. Please do a video comparing the H and HH. Thanks.

[@LowEndLobster]

Thanks David! You bring up an excellent point. So I know of the video you're talking about and that statement is somewhat right but only in a very specific circumstance. When looking at the USA Stingray H and HH (NOT the Stingray Special H and HH mind you), from what I understand the HH had the humbuckers wired in series when the full humbucker was engaged (positions 1, 3 and 5), where the regular Stingray 4 H is wired in the traditional parallel config. For this circumstance, the dude is absolutely correct. I have not played or looked at a Sterling Ray34HH but I know the Ray34H is wired in parallel. Now in a more modern context with the Stingray Special basses, these are wired in parallel for both the H and HH. I did a comparison video with mine which you can see here- kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2ezf4mqprZng8k
