Short Scale Sterling StingRay Demo

[@DavyoInVegas]

I own 3 of these bass’s, white, black and blue,, I have them setup with BEAD strings, .125 gauge on the low B. These are definitely fun great bass’s and I use them on all my gig’s going thru my Hartke or Gallien Kruger bass rigs. Thanks for the video and actually playing the bass,, unlike ALL OTHER bass reviews that use heavy overdrive or slap the shit out of their bass’s. Why must every other bass reviewer turn on the fuzz overdrive, people want to hear what the bass sounds like,, we all already know what a fuzz overdrive effect sounds like. Thanks again for a real review with the real bass sound. Cheers, Davyo

Great playing! Nice demo

[@KalleSpieltBass247]

Thanks for the presentation and really nice bass playing! Awesome!

Wow Joe, I see you have my favorite (original member lineup) rock band on the wall, along with my all time favorite album which includes the group's trademark song (25 or 6 to 4). Saw the group with Terry @ MSG, N.Y.C. (Fri. 10/28/77) which was Kath (RIP) last appearance in the Garden before that horrible incident three months later. Wished it never happened, it broke my heart! As always thanks again for another cool electric bass guitar review, cheers Bro!

[@joeiaquinto9214]

I was still living in New York at that time, and I saw them at the Nassau Coliseum that year. I met Peter for the first time in November of 77, right after the Madison Square Garden show. I worked at Manny's music on 48th Street and he came in. Nothing will ever top the original band!

Cool guy, great sound, very informative, awesome video. Thanks!

[@johnraspberry2269]

thats the best bass guitar in the world, i have it, its amazing! good built quality and sound

[@donhall-aquitania1025]

You really showed the value of this bass with your great playing.

[@joeiaquinto9214]

Thank you, Don!

[@donhall-aquitania1025]

Hi Joe, what did you hear back from Hipshot on replacement tuners? Thanks

[@tigerscott2966]

I used to have the regular Sterling, same color. That bass was a lot of fun to play. Now I'm looking for a G&L 2000. Thanks.

[@glennselwitz1377]

Enjoy your content..nice to see a real bass player doing a demo...I'm now subscribed..I've been a pro bass player 50+ years....looking forward to more... Glenn in Vermont...

[@joeiaquinto9214]

Thanks! I appreciate it.

[@loiseaunoir1021]

The "volume boost" knob is nothing but an attenuator. "Boost ON" is really "attenuator OFF". I don't know how many dB's but 6dB sounds about right.

[@mackymaca]

Awesome bass right there! Might check this out. Thanks!

[@esa4141]

You said it what I have been trying to word, burpee sound. I have same on my stand on main bass now

[@micktomazou]

Got one in white - amazing little bass - better than the full size ones IMO. Buy one!!

[@joeiaquinto9214]

I agree!

[@saschakupke405]

I get one a few days ago. Looks small but sounds great. With my orange amp it's the perfect match FOR ME ❤

[@donaldeaston9564]

I’ve got a white one. Love it

[@drewgodderis5390]

Great video buddy I appreciate I'm running out and buying one thank you

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

Even in single coil mode, that pick up definitely had some classic Ernie Ball snarl to it that transcends the sound of my Fender models. I have played one of these short scale Stingray models once or twice. I definitely understand why they are sought after. I probably would get a five string version of this model if I thought I wanted another bass and this was it.

[@warplaysbass1260]

Nice video, Joe! I love that bass... I kind of want one, but think I would want a full scale. I myself have a fender P at the moment as my main driver. I'm trying to avoid gear acquisition syndrome :)...

[@joeiaquinto9214]

Thanks! To my knowledge, Music Man hasn't put this passive system in a long-scale bass.

[@stratolestele7611]

Awesome!

[@senny4405]

This is a great video. Ernie Ball should see this, so I’m going to send it to them . School Days was a nice touch .

[@joeiaquinto9214]

Grazie!

[@paxonearth]

I'm glad that they shrunk the headstock. Was that enough to prevent neck-dive on these basses? There's one near me for very cheap, but I do NOT like neck-heavy basses.

[@joeiaquinto9214]

I didn't feel any dive :)

[@WE500CD]

Great video!!!

[@ethanmichael17]

I have a Sterling SUB series. I love it but it's just a bit too heavy and cumbersome for me. I'm definitely not playing it as much as I thought I would. I'm looking into selling it and getting myself a short scale

[@joeiaquinto9214]

You will be happy!

[@LucaLindemann]

Nice video and t-Shirt 😀🟢⚪🔴

[@MungoMickey]

Excellent review. How did the balance feel to you? Did you notice any neck dive?

[@joeiaquinto9214]

No neck dive, very balanced!

[@BenBarnett-m5b]

Sold mine, string spacing way too close together and weighed a ton.

[@WVANitro]

Hey Joe- Great demo! I have two of these gems. For comparison sake, what’s your signal chain to record the demo? Stock EB strings? Thx!

[@michael_caz_nyc]

I'd also love to know: strings, amp, pedals ect - you had a great punchy-sound.

[@joeiaquinto9214]

[@AzzaroKayona]

this bass made in Indonesia but i never seen it

[@sd3falco]

Hey Joe, cool video. I have a G&L Fallout that is pretty cool and comparable to this. Check it out if you haven't. My problem with the G&L is that there's not enough frets to play "The Real Me" (The Who). But it looks like this one would work.......hmmmmm...may be in my future.

[@joeiaquinto9214]

It is nice to have the extra real estate!

[@yodisvelllorente5558]

Tengo uno identico a ese y es genial

No dive at all!

I've been looking for one but unlike yours's the ones I find have bad string to tuner alignment at the headstock. 7:28 to 7:38 hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[@joeiaquinto9214]

Oh, bummer!

[@TheBassfresh]

@@joeiaquinto9214 btw great school days quote, i'm always surprised how many bassists don't know stanley's alembic bass is a short scale, and his 1st electric bass was a ss gibson.

[@joeiaquinto9214]

@TheBassfresh Thanks! Yep, you're correct. He played a Gibson EB-2!

[@waynechurchill7212]

They been making guitars for long time it time to wake up I own several guitar USA to pricey

[@stevem-h3562]

one of these or a used Ray34?

If you want a short-scale, you can't beat this!
