Customer reviews about Sterling by Music Man S.U.B. Sting Ray 4 BK

R

Cheap-ish and cheerful bass

RobbieTribe 15.08.2019

I bought this stingray because I had an itching for some humbucking action, and didn't own a bass with a maple fretboard. I am pleased with it.
PROs - The combination of black gloss with chrome hardware coupled with the maple neck and fretboard makes it a very smart and stunning.
- Since I am used to a five-string, the neck feels quick and thin, very comfortable and it makes stretching and moving around quickly effortless. Quite comparable to my Fender Jaguar.
- The pickup is bright with that classic stingray tone, great for more percussive techniques like slapping and using a pick.
- No visible damage and a flawless finish.

CONs - Pickup is quite hot and specifically caused a bit of trouble for a soundman at a gig because the E string is particularly prevalent. Easily fixed with a compressor pedal though.

Overall it's a top bass for a very decent price, and if you can't justify buying a Music Man (as was my case) it's great.

Good slap

Selm 25.01.2021

Feels nice to play and has great sound. The material is not top notch, but still solid. Only thing is that other basses this price is better when it comes to precision.

Cool sound for this price

breakfast 31.08.2019

For me this bass is so cool, without any doubts, it sounds great and I like the design of classic musicman. Punchy middle and lows. I play this one on Gallien Krueger or Ampeg amps, thats why it sounds a bit better than on examples, approve.

Good alternative for the real thing.
Bit too skinny neck for my taste!
Other than that, typical Indonesian quality!

KAB LAS 05.07.2018

very good musical instrument I am very pleased with this purchase all I needed was a set-up (a complaint: although they told me that the special ones would do it before they send it to me)

If you want that typical metal-bass sound, you got it! I`ve had no issues getting great sound out of it! It`s a no brainer!

Undoubtebly the best value instrument on the market

DJ Rudd 24.08.2024

For the price - it is very well made, it really "feels good" to hold it in hands. Easly upgradeable with better pickup (like MEC), and preamp.

great for the price.

mr olly 23.09.2022

Using this in my home studio. A little bit of setting up needed as some fret buzz. Just had to raise the strings a touch.
Sits so nice in the mix and easy to play. I love the tone controls and it looks very smart. Very happy for £400.
