These guys are a blast together, they have so much fun, you can hear it in their playing!
Thanks guys!
The uncounted yeahs will pile up quickly it seems.
now that´s how you DEMO a bass!!!! this video has been rather amazingly satisfying!!!
i love the humor of Nathan, he is a great musician, and a very cool guy, that makes the rewiews more interesting to see
Beautiful Gorgeous Fabulous Basses and 2 Great Players! Thanks Guys.
First few minutes show some incredibly tasty bass playing, well done and very enjoyable to watch!
My favorite part about these guys is how genuine they are.
The greatest basses in my opinion. So versatile. Wouldn't be without my 4 and 5 stringers.
Opening jam was AWESOME!!
That last chord Lee hits is epic as all hell!!
I played a StingRay 5 HH in black for a ministry that I used to work with, and one of my friends has a sunburst Classic, and he loves it. Great basses! If you're into the Flea sound, this is the ballpark sound you're looking for.
Best bass of all time . Legendary.
I'd love to see a comparison of the Stingray vs Sterling. :-)
Great job, guys. Keep it up!
Tip for future episodes: play some iconic basslines the bass in question was used on. Mention some famous bassplayers using/having used it. In this case you could have mentioned Bernard Edwards, John Deacon, Flea, Gail-Ann Dorsey, Tony Levin etc.
love this idea! hope they heard this one!

You blokes are always great!
The tone on these beasts is just heavenly.
Dual pickup one for me I need my meaty neck bucker, great jams guys
Love these guys
Great demos, more please!
EBMM stingrays rock! I have a 4HH and a 5H! Juicy Lucy or skinny mini; any tone you want! Thanks gentlemen for the demo and the video. Bulletproof and indestructible. Thanks from the USA
Still my favourite bass of all time, I've played my friends a lot and just absolutely dig it and how you can always find an incredible tone with it, I just wish i could buy one aha
Ali Express. Yes, it’s a roll of the dice, but I rolled the dice and got my dream bass. A Music Man Stingray Special HH, 4 string, fretless. $205, shipped. When I got it, the neck had a back bow, and the truss rod adjuster was jammed up, so I had to remove the neck. Easy peasy, the truss rod adjusting nut broke free easily, adjusted the neck to straight, tuned it, tightened up the pot nuts, and played fretless bass on my new “Music Man”. While setting intonation, I realized the nut was a plastic heap of crap. While searching for a replacement and going for authenticity, I went to the Music Man website, as I had read that they sell the correct nuts. So out came the micrometer. WOW. Every single aspect that I could measure on this bass was identical to a real Music Man of same design. I was stunned silent, which says a lot. The bass is beautiful, plays incredibly well, and sounds better than I could ever have expected. I’m not an expert on judging authenticity, but I was so stunned by how correct this bass is, that I looked up the serial number on the back of the neck heel cover plate, and it showed up as a 2002 Stingray in black. Weird. Stolen? I doubt it. The fonts all look perfect, the print for “Made in San Luis Obispo” is perfect, even the bridge is ALMOST perfect, only in that it doesn’t say. Using Man on it. Ot took almost three months to get it, but it was worth it.
Cheers guys, you got in going on!
I've got my EBMM USA SUB 4 for more than 5 years now, bought it second hand, the damn thing is bulletproof. Switching from a Strat to possibly an Albert Lee or a Cutlass whatever the budget allows.
I jusr bought one yesterday. $2100 made in California. Ive been playing junk my whole life but this thing is such an amazing bass.
Nice!!!!!!
Love this channel you guys are awesome!
I always have to go and practice after watching one of your vids
That HH sounds ridiculous. The neck pickup is great. Saving my pennies...and thank you for not slapping.
One of the beefier basses I've seen, very temped to get one too!
Hopefully you got one!!
love me some stingrays! got me a 4 and 5 string stingrays
Lee is such a killer player!!
Best basses on earth. I love me some ebmm stingrays.
I have a stingray 5 HH and a 5 H
I love these basses
Is one better for slap bass?
The Classic is "the perfect bass" IMO
I want a classic 90s so bad man!!
Damn I love stingray basses
hello Andertons !
could you please do video of the stingray 4 vs the fender elite jazz bass ?
That darkglass pre-amp can make pretty much anything sound great
Good video, good presenters,
Low A on 5 string is so powerfull and nice sounding.
thank you!!!
I want one really badly, I love my jazz bass but I really am thinking about one of these.
They are absolutely worth a try. In my opinion, if you want the classic bass tones/sounds (just like the jazz and precision), you want a stingray as well. The budget versions of these basses are also quite excellent as well if you're curious.
Darkglass sounds awesome
Nathan (the "Yeah" guy hahaha :D) is just absolutely amazing. I wish I had the opportunity to jam with that dude at some point!
Rather than reviewing gear, it'd be cool to see you try doing some sort of challenge or sounds like, such as trying to put together a gigging bass rig (bass and amp) for 500
Where's the limited addition one in pink Champaign with the gold hardware? Now that one is Gorgeous. Probably the best looking bass I've seen.
Original Stingrays necks were bolted with 3 bolts and the micro tilt system I guess, then they moved to 4 when the company was sold to Ernie Ball and now are 6.
John Entwistle of The Who used a Music Man Stingray on Eminence Front, Athena and You Better You Bet
I love fender jazz basses, but these sound real good. This might be my second favorite bass.
I'm restoring the stolen Stingray that came back from the Chinese thefts via police and was aware of how was the tone control. Alright, those are the two-band eq. Thanks a lot. Mine is 1979 and was made when Leo Fender was still on earth, and Louis Johnson playing. My Stingray came back in bits and pieces, and so I'm restoring it.
Finally!
you guys drive me to practice hard
Off topic, but Lee please tell me: what hair product do you use? Looks insane man.
How can I order that HH in black but with rosewood fretboard? I can't find it anywhere and it says on your website it's no longer available.
please do Sterling SUB series please
Could you guys do a review of the Ernie ball sterling line?(and I don’t mean the budget “sterling by musiciman.”great bass that doesn’t get as much love as its big brother.
The two-bass-player format is good, but. (Yeah, there's always a but.) Randomly sweeping through the EQ paramater space isn't really that helpful. Yeah, yeah. More valuable would be yeah dialing in a few idiomatic tones (reggae, rock, funk, cosmic space jazz) and yeah showing them in context. Yeah.
(I actually don't mind the yeahs, btw. Not a criticicism.)
same opinion here
Not to nit-pick, but these two guys dial literally every bass, pedal, and amp combo to a similar tone. It drives me nuts, i wish they'd get Dave from Dorje involved once in a while...
I just realized that too, and it makes me wanna not fish the video now. :(
The amps are only in the room, it's usually D. I. sounds to recording unless explicitly stated. That can take away quite some character. Most people listening to TH-cam on mobile devices with the bass response of wet paper towels only leaves similar treble spikes. Somewhat decent speakers or quality headphones help a lot, especially with bass sounds.
Nef not always true. And my comment was stating regardless of amp, bass model, pedals, di... It's always dialed close to the same jazzy-with-bite tone
He would sound the same, it's the crappy way the instruments are recorded not the eq settings.
Not true, try watching more than 2 min into each video
HI EVERYBODY (hi Dr. Nick). I was wondering if you might to be able to give the Talman basses by Ibanez a little blast on here? It's an interesting vintage style bass range which is overlooked, but owners seem to love them (especially for the price). You sell the short scale, the regular, and the premium Nordstrand licensed ones and it would be great to hear a comparison (I have a feeling the Nordstrand one could sell!). Thanks.
You can just hear the funk coming out of the basses man
I've never even laided a hand on a Stingray bass. Actually, I've rarely ever even laid eyes on one. But I'll tell you this: if that Sterling 5 has the same tonal setup as the white Stingray that Nathan starts out with, I'd LOVE to get my hands on IT!!! But, it'd have to be a lefty for me... being a lefty 'n all. That's my comment. Here's my question: is that Line6 Relay Wireless system for guitar or bass or both? Another question: Does Line6 make a dedicated bass wireless system?
Next time feature the USA made Sterling basses. Compare it to the Stingray with similar specs. The Sterling is like a Stingray-on-steroids. Its smaller body and slim neck are great!
I got a Stering, a Stingray and a Bongo for that reason!
The new Old Smoothie has a five pole pickup, New pre-amp. and neck profile.
Do a Geddy Lee signature Fender Jazz Bass
Yaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssss
any sterling by music man coming?
I have a Sub4 and it is the best bass at that price. Absolutely blows Squier away. I actually chose it over a used Fender Standard Jazz bass because it sounded so much nicer and more powerful.
I used to own a Ray34 and it was an absolutely fantastic bass that had great versatility and was excellent value for money. If you're interested in some reviews of the SBMM series basses, might I suggest some videos by Maplewood Studios who review both the SUB series and SBMM Rays?
John Danek I have a sub 4 as well just interested in seeing them demo it
They play bass, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Really hate how most bass demos are just funk.
they are finally making a lefty sub stingray so my poor ass can finally afford a stingray
MAKE MORE MONEY.
@@shyankhan_ wow. Genius.
the old ones actually had a 3 bolt neck eek
Mike Guitar only up until 1978
Mike Guitar yup, my 78 has a 3 bolt neck and my 84 is a 4 bolt, the switch came with the Ernie Ball buyout.
1977-80 are the ones to get.
Old smoothie has a 5 string pickup on a 4 string body so that the strings sit between the magnets instead of above them. Its based on the first concept Leo had i believe.
I wish Nathan and Lee would reply to us on here
Any chance Andertons will stock the Marcus Miller Sire basses?
Callum Ord they sell direct via the Sire website I believe.
My take on this is that the single humbucker pick up CAN't get a deep sub sound xD
The 2 band rays have more booty, and sound smoother.
It is absolutely wrong to state that 2 humbackers is absolutely better than one.
It’s simply different.
If you test the bridge humbacker only on both basses, you will see they don’t sound alike and if you want the sharpness of the bridge pickups heard on the 1 humbacker bass, you must avoid having another humbacker in front because it cuts some vibrations to communicate with the neck.
Now if you want a more rock heavy bass sound, go for the 2 hums HH ….. wanna slap !? Go for the H only, the sound will be much more crisp on a one humbacker bass.
It’s a mistake to say that basses with 2 humbackers do the same job and more …. Not true. It’s a different bass altogether.
I’ve tested both and i stick to the one hummy Stingray….. but with a 3 band preamp
rickenbacker,fender or music man for fingerstyle rock/metal?
Ralph Chbeir yes
You couldn't go wrong with any of them
Yoooooooo
Its cut / boost but withour center detend. just saying guys.
@Tristan Erno the Sterling Ray34ca and the Stingrays Classics dont.
Bring back the captain
Just bring Marky Mark in
I think there's alot of viewers that dont play acid jazz or funk. Please bring in someone that can play other styles of music ;)
Agreed. A lot of viewers.
I play Acid Jazz and Funk. But I couldn't agree more. These basses would have sounded great with a good, heavy, aggressive rock bass line or some blues!
There's a lot of viewers that don't even play bass. Surely I have better things to do...
Steve Cook yeah bring back cliff button
Awwww what have I done ? Too soon
These basses also sound like a buzzy can ….however…this is one of my fav channels.
stingray's preview without slapping is underwhelming , but good grooves.
The 2 band is actually cut and boost and no matter what knobs you turn down on a 3 band it will never sound like a 2 band. I prefer the 2 band as it is not as hi fi and zingy as the 3 band. The 2 band is defo more mellow in a Classic kind of way though the 3 band is a great guitar it its own right.
Here I go yawl,..long one!...
I’ve always loved the MusicMan Basses!...each model as well as each instrument kinda has its own flavor. (..all owners or players of a few get what I mean..)
MusicMan Stingrays,Sabers,Sterlings or Bongos can get a good Bassist the confidence to cover all type genre gigs. A great weapon for those troopers covering gigs on the fly!
Play one on any genre and see what you get!...they’re designed to get you to the tone you’ll need!..(..and more once your in combat with the ensemble/band frequencies battle!!..) Back the Bass up with a good choice of Amp w/full range Speaker Cabinet and go kill it! (Note:..wear good clothes ‘cause you will get noticed!!..)
Ok,..now to the elephant in the room on this video!..😔
I actually thought it was kinda cool watching and listening to their attempts to show off the sound & tones possibilities of each instrument. Good player/listeners could catch the intricate differences,...then there’s the “viewing” aspect of this in which brings me to my issue on this video!
Towards the end,..@13:42..Nathan has a “cough” in his left hand and then handles the “expensive wood neck” Bass with no impulse or editing in the vid suggesting it may have been done!!(washing his hands!!)....GROSE!!😖...that instrument is to be sold so care is taken for scratches and the like so why not also “hygiene” ...Damn!...come on guys!!..you do,.. do things well in your vids that are good & informative for customers.(although all viewers may not be satisfied)
Anyway,...I hope the future uploads will be more careful of this,..things happen in a vid shot,we’re all human!..but I think “sharing” our humanity all over the instruments during the shoot is negligent guys!!
..’nuff said...no more of that please!
✌🏾
running out of bass jokes......i'll google some for the next video
thanks for you review of these however im not a fan of these as they dont sound as fat as i like
That will certainly be subject to everyone's tastes. Have you tried these types of basses with flatwound or tapewound strings? Those get pretty fat (at least to my ears)
I see everyone complaining in different ways about the same thing, the basses sound the same on every video i.e. crappy.
Ow!
stop playing the same bass grooves
I know! Buckle my shoe, or, what?
I wish there were some basists.... And bass lines.... not wanking on bass....
yawn
nope. two showoffs not playing with each other. lol
I really like basses, but when not playing anything metal they sound like complete shit.
Traumâțu' Mîț Mîț I think you just don't know much about bass and or don't appreciate it.
I do have a bass, and I have been a bassist in a band although I'm originally a guitarist, and I just don't like the sound basses make when playing anything other than metal (distorted or not).
I have to recommend you check out nolly from periphery, that bass is amazing. Even out of a metal context just listening to that bass tone on it's own is fantastic.
I have an Epiphone Thunderbird Pro-IV and it suits me perfectly. I guess, it's also about how it's being played. I find fingerstyle to sound a lot worse than using a pick, and hitting the strings make me want to puke.
So you're a guitarist
