    This is basically 30 mins of Mike having a nice day at the office.
    10/10!

    The whole bass chord/ variety of amps thing reminded me of Lou Barlow. One of the best bassists I've ever seen. No, *the* best bassist I've ever seen.

    Mike Herrera and Stingrays are also inseparable in my brain!!! This video was awesome, been playing bass for close to 20 years and I still learned so much and was entertained the whole time!

    25:30 "haha. OK, I promise I will never slap again" the laugh made my day!

    "What if you if you don't have a second tuner?" Wow! Mind blown, I've been eyeballing that length since 1992!

      Dude same, it blew my mind too and I’m super ashamed 😅

    That third position does sound amazing. When you were demoing it before adjusting the EQ it just sounded so incredibly '90s - in a good way.

    First vid I’ve scene of yours very cool! I have a OLP style bass I bought because of Mike Herrera! Watched your video as I’ve had it for years and I want to clean and set it up! Rock on dude!

    MxPx!
    The Ever Passing Moment was my introduction and I listened to it forever.
    Thanks for the pickguard suggestion. Most appreciated. #OneStepCloserToLife

    I had one of those ampeg combos it was called B3 club I think with that specific speaker setup.

    I think Matt Wong from Reel Big Fish might be why I own a 5 string Sting Ray (Sterling by Music Man Ray 35HH, I'm too terminally-cheap to afford an EBMM). But then there's also Flea, John Deacon, Gail Ann Dorsey, Pino Palladino, Tony Levin, and the list is never ending.
    For anyone with a love-hate relationship with their Sting Rays - try stringing it up with some flatwounds! I have a set of Ernie Ball Slinky Flatwounds (Cobalt) on my Sting Ray, and they are AMAZING!

    HECK YES! Pink St.Vincent with a mastery all day son!

      Eric Merrow made me a mock up of it and I'm in LOVE

  • @mattiasjp
    @mattiasjp 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I really like the color on this. My MM Sterling is in natural and it’s so boring. Might have to do a re-finish to love it like I should.

  • @EricMerrow
    @EricMerrow 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Okay first... there's no such thing as "too much MXPX" (if you haven't yet, you gotta listen to their newest ST album). Second, fantastic video as always! Third, I need to get a sting ray in my collection something. Thing sounds amazing

    Used to have an EBMM Sterling was probably the most fun to play bass ever I couldn’t keep my band away from it. Unfortunately we made it big enough won some competitions and all ended up hooked on drugs my drummer died I sold the stingray. I’m 8.5 years clean today and I bought myself a Stingray Special in Burnt Apple and my reggae band is going places. These instruments are special they have the best playability and electronics out there… RIP CHUBBS MY DRUMMER FOREVER

    What is the size of the hex Allen for the saddle?? My 1/16 doesn’t seem to be big enough

  • @TelecasterMaster1

    That bass riff at 16:32 was sick. Haha.

    • @PerpetuallyTiredMusician
      @PerpetuallyTiredMusician 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Just play the root on the e string and the major or minor third on the g and moving to 4th-5th and 7th back and forth on the g string depending on the chord. Easiest way to help out with chords and fullness in a band with a guitarist that don't do a lot of chord work. Sounds great when accompanying a piano too.
      Peace and stay safe

    Yes. This is exactly what I needed today 😎

  • @Kenneyty
    @Kenneyty 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I’ve got a Stingray that needs a little love. My biggest issue is that all the chrome is really tarnished, with the tuners especially looking matte with basically no luster. Any recommendations on what might bring that back to to shine? Metal polish didn’t do it for me.

    • @jacksonvillejared
      @jacksonvillejared 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Id recommend, remove tuners, fine bronze wool, and polish with a buffing wheel. If you want them to shine. Disassemble the tuner if needed.

    Greg the Anchor! I like LaBella flatwounds on my bass for the tension. No buzzing from round wounds that feel loose.

    Dude if Jack Black and Martha Stewart had a guitar/bass tech, it'd be you @puisheen. Love your footage, content, and mainly love of the gear you help us learn and laugh about.

  • @nevermorehollows
    @nevermorehollows 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love Mike’s videos. The first time I ever saw him was on a Fender Video. He was wearing a TNG costume and was geeking over Weezer.
    I was hooked at that moment.

    The rag you were using at first was too dirty IMHO.
    I happen to own a 2001 EBMM Sterling with the same body color but a maple fingerboard.
    In your shoes, I would have measured the neck relief with a feeler gauge rather than relying on sight and feel.

    3M white pads are comparable to 0000 steel wool, without the steel.

    • @revivalmusic8063

      But I personally use Gorgomyte, I get the Fret-Not fret polish and fingerboard cloths on Reverb.

    @alanagottalottasay997 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If I was going to have a problem w any of the audio it wouldn't be the use of "cheese", no it would be obnoxious and uncouth sounds the lemon oil bottle chose to produce.....lol...also the St Vincent model is such a cool/think differently type of guitar....

    if they made a 30” or 30.5” Sterling bass, doesn’t matter the finish, electronics or how much it costs. I’d buy it in seconds.

    • @bassnsax
      @bassnsax 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you haven't tried out one of the Sting Ray Short Scale (either Ernie Ball Music Man, or Sterling by Music Man) models, they are amazing! Also, fully passive, too.
