Hey everyone! Today we're doing and in-depth review on the Sterling by Music Man Stingray Ray24CA "Classic". Sterling by Music Man makes some bold claims in the description of this instrument citing inspiration from the original Stingray bass from the 70's. Is this bass the real retro deal, or is their claim a bunch of marketing mumbo-jumbo? Let's find out!
Edit: I see Sterling is starting flat and not cut. oops ;P
Edit 2: Forgot to mention the difference in nut width! USA Has the 41.3mm vs the 38mm Sterling SBMM Ray24
