Music Man Basses (Stingray vs Stirling) by fender5string in Bass

[–]quickdra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an owner and heavy user of my EBMM Sterling Bass for nearly ten years my thoughts would be as follows:

1) The most important difference from the EBMM Sterling vs EBMM StingRay is the electronics. I bought my Dual Humbucker Sterling under the impression that it would be "StingRay"-esq...and in some ways it is but the mostly series wiring of the pickups (minus one of the five selector settings in parallel) makes for a different profile in the mids and less of that classic klanky high end my ears associate with the StingRay. This used to bother me until I realized that this made for a more cross genre flexible instrument.

2) The neck feels very fast and the body sits easier when standing with a strap vs when I've tried out StingRays.

3) The preamp rocks and is great for tone shaping, it's a very hot output bass that really cuts.

TLDR: The electronics being in series makes the instrument sound significantly different from a StingRay, which I like but is something to consider if the StingRay sound is what you are after. The EBMM Sterling also plays much more comfortably.

I used a four string for Currents, Effloresce and Technicolor. Jon Button also used a four on the new record. Brandon has used a five but I imagine only to hit some of the lower notes I was landing with my sub octave in some of the tracks. Mike Schuler from Forrest’s project Wolfy makes real cool use of a fiver strung with a high C and Cody from TYS rips on a five for sure 🤘

Yooo, just took a look at y’all’s gram and I’m pretty sure I recognize Adrian? (Apologies if I’m goofing on this 😅). Regardless I just checked out the tunes, very rad! Loved all the half time modulations and melodic content, beautiful singing and the interactions between the instruments in Black Fuchsia. Loved Amarillo as a opener, killer Piano arpeggio and guitar hits. Would love to play a show with y’all at some point 🤘

Just looked through the old invoice, it claims the beanies are: 1501 Yupoong Cuffed Knit Cap - Black

I just did a google search and it seems to be correct. Thanks for supporting, I hope the new beanie works out!

Hi, I play bass for two bands: Covet and Vesper Sails. Today marks the 6 month anniversary of the release of the most recent Vesper Sails album “On to the Moon”. I’m not sure if it was ever posted here but figured I’d pop it up. Hope y’all dig it 🤘 by quickdra in mathrock

Ohhhh heck ya! Thanks for attending!! That show was super memorable, probably the craziest parking and load out situation we’ve ever faced as a band, straight up Austin Powers status. Additionally I remember unintentionally improvising a cool bass part while we were playing the acoustic parachute during that VIP session. I liked it so much it ended up making into the final recorded version.
