    USE

    The handle is pleasant
    the ergonomics are good, the shape is classic
    Weight? Well, it is heavy, very heavy ...
    I find that not easily get a good sound, there he has one?

    SONORITS

    It is suitable to rock if you like sonorits garish ...

    since I have it, I never managed to get a satisfying sound. when I bought it I did not know much about the bass and I got screwed.

    I play on amps Ampeg BA 115 and MarkBass Little Mark.

    with this bass is obtained as crystalline sounds even with acute strokes, it is a veritable disaster.

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    I possde for 3 years and my musician friends have always reproch me not having enough serious with this bass and they are right! so I ended up buying a new low!

    the price of this bass is a veritable scandal! if you have 1000, a Fender Precision prfrez for example, I'm sure you will be more satisfied.

    with the experience, I will never do this choice because this bass is a scam! that is to say, I would not even sell it, I would not want someone else to take the head with like me for 2 years. I believe that if we want good bass, better to take the time to conomiser and buy quality rather than losing his savings in an "instrument" like the.

MM ... so tell me why we will change everything ... finally, it will have cost me about 1400 euros and I have a super low here the calculation so if you see one on ebay, y 'aa sometimes even less than 700 euros, well worth the cost of equipping a East even without changing the microphone you will have a low equivalent has a stingray, (if I tell you!) To paint the handle which is not too tough on some it seems, on mine it is not partie.Mais I uses in the studio ...

    UTILIZATION

    Handle is pleasant yes, broad qd meme.Lourde she made her six kilos up to you ... you have a strap large.Le sound is present throughout the East preamp, the original is not good at all, the eq ineffective, nothing in the mids and treble, y'en peu.Ergonomie all is well in hand Mr big knobs seem indestructibles.Mon two bands eq is perfect.

    SOUNDS

    MM is the sound, but also smacking sweet touches if the harmonic basse.Des easy to get, we can even do just that for fun. The rigidity of the violin and the choice of wood is uncompromising in MusicMan (see the videos of the plant MM on You tube.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have since ans.J 7 'also have a JazzBass, an Ibanez Ergodyne typed in the series that I will ever métal.Bien on this choice is still versatile, but it's even a rather low typical funk, slap The East preamp .. I've put a huge gain, the original is not bon.Si you find a cheap buy là.C is both a Stingray after these changes and for much less expensive! I just read the reviews below ... the problem of this bass is just the prempli, I've also changed the pickup but hey, that's not required ... if it is, I repeat Absolutely a great bass!! a real MM as the guys say below!

    I do not personally possde but I had the opportunity to see it lends a store for a week. Having the pass more or less fantasized about the Stingray, I thought that with the SUB I could finally accder rve to "lower cost".

Channel plutt pais, like Precision Bass humbucking pickup, volume knob, bass and treble. I believe that the SUB is a MODEL amricain, like the original stingray, so why a price so minor compared the big sister? ...

    UTILIZATION

    In use, nothing fancy, nothing exotic. The knobs fall well under the hands, are quite mcaniques prcises (even when less than a Fender amricaine of 2004) and the handle is plutt prvu for bastonneurs, c ' is - that thick and wide, but easily playable, so reassuring to me. The essay MODEL silent but well-rgl is the kind of bass ncessite the action of the strings is relatively high. No madness SETTING THE nanomtre prs as a Marleau or even a Warwick. But who cares, it's not a fag bass (it's an expression I do not want to hurt anyone ...).
    Access in boxes dernires no better no worse than a Jazz Bass. Same weight, heavy plutt. Laying on the knees or standing in bandoulire, it is enjoyable, even if in absolute terms it can always be better. But l also, who cares, it's not a bass fag ...
    Note to "use", it will be way + I is at 6.

    SOUNDS

    INTERESTED always something with a low unknown: the few hours playing "unplugged" before connecting anything. Just to see how all these widgets together rsonnent Mountains. My apprciate? Not good. In any case worse than the Fender and Ibanez ATK Precision (which taient my only two points of comparison).
    Now part of a POD Pro Stereo headphones with large genre DJ. Simulation Ampeg SVT with little gain and all rglages flat. A bass, volume, bass and treble bottom. I start playing, and l. .. a pure noise fall into my ears! But everything is connected. I try with the Fender, nickel, as usual. So what? I reconnect the Music Man. Re-poo. I fiddle with the knobs and it s that I realize that this incredibly low gnre too acute, so much so that the POD does digression at all, especially with the simultaneous Ampeg SVT .
    Tries with the head Hartke HA3500, we find the same problem. When you boost too severe and acute, the sound is dnatur artificial and drooling. Dgueulasse really, especially in the acute. By volume with background against, serious and acute in the middle is cute but nothing to do with the sound of the "stingray CHRE". In addition to the micro snores a little, yes, yes, as a low 200euros ...
    Unplugged, it sounds worse than the Fender Precision and Ibanez ATK.
    Branch, it does not have "severe simplicity" of the Fender Precision is even far from the trs carrment Fender regarding the quality of sound. Compared to Ibanez, it is in the same register with mediums more and more natural singing typical of Music Man. on the other hand, beware of boosters, they do more harm than good and you quickly end up with a sound queer ...
    For the note "sonoritquot;, it will be also a way +.

    OVERALL OPINION

    My overall opinion? I dcu, I spol!
    Between SUB and the real Stingray, it's like between a Fender and a Fender Mexico Amricaine. It has the look of the original ... That's it! Without wishing to do the type litiste, the SUB is classified in the radius dj "copies".
    The finish is not bad but for the price ...
    The sound is not bad either, but it's not that good of a Stingray. And then There's the problem of active electronic shit ... I think we need better pay Ibanez ATK (which is better finished, more beautiful and less banal, by the way) and stick him EMG. It is doing for less CHRE and it sounds better, for sure. But it was not the look of Flea ...

    With exprience, I tell myself that I did well to make me prter a week before not to buy ...

    Qualitprix on the report is one of the worst bass I've played. At 500 euros, I gave him a 7 or 8 but more than 1300, do not DCON, I mad a 3.

    SOUNDS

    The trick of SUB I loved his Punch is great compared to the fender, but certainly more Polivalente significantly lower incisors.
    I tried it on a mid-range amp, and it came out, both slap (and especially slap) than fingers.
    I loved the sound clacs of the beast, that is not found on other low style.
    I put 10 because it's really the style of his that I was trying to get results without all the other low.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have tried that, alas store, but I love his punch, his sound and his weight against me which the glue. The handle is wide and the strings a little higher than a low precision, but for me it's the hair.
    I also tried a fender jazz US after this one, and I was disappointed by its lack of punch (I know, j'me repeat, but it is important to me)
    I was told that the price was under € 1,000, and I think it's not bad, and besides I plan to buy me one, I have enough of a low type Jazz is mouuuuuuuuu.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It is true that the finisher is a shit, even my yamaha silent rbx270 both finished in the assembly against the quality and strong (above the rest in this price range) are remarkable for the price, I bought new 888 hard to find a better price / quality.

    Musicman all-steel bridge.
    21 frets, micro Musicman humbucker, the same as the Stingray, Sterling and other Bongo much more expensive.
    The painting of the body is a matte black heavy duty and virtually impervious to scratches and fingerprints.
    Level settings, volume, treble adjustment and a low setting, Cut / boost in both cases. Problems, the knobs are notched in the middle of their races, it's not very convenient to find (hence the 8 / 10). But it is this kind of detail that allowed less Musicman offer this low at this price.

    UTILIZATION

    The round painting is nice, the ergonomics are good, the head does not lean forward when the bass is played strap.
    Access to treble is good, without more, like 99% of the low.
    This gives her the REAL Musicman instantly, contrary to some opinions that may indicate, I know what I mean since I had a Stingray 4 and now I have a Stingray 5 in addition to the SUB. But these low there must still go in for them as it sounds, huh ... ^ ^
    The settings are quite sensitive, it must go sparingly (with whom? ^ ^) But the EQ is doing its taf '. It lacks a Mid control, but it is also part of cuts to achieve this rate. While the Stingray is available with a 2-band EQ and the new Stingray Classic (beautiful but expensive) also have a 2-band EQ, so ...

    SOUNDS

    The sound is very distinctive, Musicman typed what.
    As Louis Johnson and Flea before he plays on the Modulus (but the sound of the Musicman and modulus is still fairly close, with a higher level of sharpness and definition of notes on the modulus ..).
    I play on an Ashdown ABM EVO III and an Ampeg cabinet 15 ', and the result is excellent.
    I do not like the sound with treble pushed to the max, and that's it.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a month, bought second-hand (450 €) music store, I think this is an excellent deal, a true bass made in United States.

    The price / quality ratio is excellent. I repeat, but contrary to what is said in some opinions, this bass is a Musicman TRUE. Those who did not like the sound of the SUB also hate it with a Stingray, as it is 90% the SAME!! There's just been some concessions made on details to get the price down. But remember that it was sold the price of a Fender Standard United States, so it's not a low-end instrument, even if it was the entry-Musicman. Musicman is clearly more upmarket than Fender.
    In addition, this model will become collector over the years, as Musicman stopped producing them a few years ago.
    I would definitely do it again this choice, as it perfectly complements my Stingray 5, and not at all ashamed of the comparison!

    UTILIZATION

    SUper round, although pai, grip ..

    The neck is like the Stingray, big and round.

    The absence of the rglage mdiums forced me to put only 8.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is little prt the same as that of the Stingray, at least in a form it's all the same. Large and pais, it looks like we took the trunk of a tree and that he was shot in the two lengthwise, not dsagrable but requires some acclimatization time.

    Access in acute trs is correct.

    Ergonomics are good, rpute to be heavy, I did not find that the weight of this bass silent unbearable ...

    With only a microphone and 2 buttons do not rglages three days to find an audible sound, I just returned APRS.

    I put 8 as the lack of mid-point is very harmful.

    SOUNDS

    My style of pop / rock and my aggressive play, often in slap stick perfectly to this low, it is besides that for which it is intended.

    I first test of a "small" 15W amp just to see what it gives without being highlighted. Then I test the bug on a HP Ashdown 300W 1 * 15 "and 8 * 10".

    The range of sound is extremely restricted due to rglages limits. The treble knob is almost unusable: too dnature pushed this sound, you almost cut for not sound shrill. The bass knob is quite effective, it can be a bit player on it to change the sound but in fact trs around quickly.

    With a low base and treble almost slap shots obtained by the sound typical of the Musicman Stingray, however, is virtually the only use and when playing the finger, the absence of acute makes sound on the strings of RE SOL and almost inaudible (in the sense that means virtually nothing)

    You really have to play aggressive or we fawn does not draw much of its sonic palette over rev limit does not allow much freedom as the game on the style to play. Having the sound that kills slap fortunately saved the house but overall it's not terrible, I mean but it is just ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    Wanting to buy a Stingray bass but do not have the means, I thought that this may be the SUB was worth a shot for a price 2 times infrieur the Stingray. Not wishing me on DCID simple opinion, rev share, I have found I am all me make my own IDE on this issue. So I spent many hours testing it, every angle, with DIFFERENT amps, etc..

    It shows that on paper, it has almost nothing to envy of his great, if not a knob of mdiums.
    However Ralite is easy to see why the price is 2 times infrieur: the sound palette is too limited.

    If you want a bass just for the slap, because you like the sound of a Flea, and / or have the means to pay you anything derrire: go for it!
    However if you want a bass with that particular sound but can also have other things to offer, more versatile, go your way.

    The moments I spent on this low slapper silent and just for good I think it's a good bass. It does not feel amme on a US Fender, Musicman it's is unique. This is mainly because of this that I put all 8 of the same in overall score.

    The neck is super nice, black lacquer on the back, the slides, access to acute and listened it's perfect, and the interface is nice, its weight is a bit heavy but hey it is not good fir his guitar would be. The sound is the sound musicman, so you have tried before to…

    UTILIZATION

    The neck is super nice, black lacquer on the back, the slides, access to acute and listened it's perfect, and the interface is nice, its weight is a bit heavy but hey it is not good fir his guitar would be. The sound is the sound musicman, so you have tried before to criticize the musicman sound that comes out (see opinion below is completely fenderien apara) short it is a pop rock sound, I also IT CAN BE USED dub with Ashdown ABM 300 and a 4X cabinet AMPEG Classic 10 and I can tell you that his appointment is, the lower its deep medium idem, one small adjustment to make is to not push too sharp tone except for amateur slap. The bass tone shipments sauce. Frankly for the price again is pretty terrible.

    SOUNDS

    It suits my style of music I play in a band for 10 years, quite a scene, never been disappointed, it is robust, not down, you can count on. The sound is still there, use with Ashdown ABM 300 and Ampeg classic 4X10. Its rings. The sound is pretty powerful, just as fat as I like, bouncing at will, quite versatile, but was better now that you try.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 5 years and it never disappointed me, as I described before manufacturing States, robust style has full, no frills, but effective, and both quite contemporary.
    I try several models yes: fender jazz bass american standart, standart américan fender precision, warwik .... and I passed. The value for money is simply amazing you can have a musicman to 700 of eurso OCCAZ. Or what you'll find better now? For this and the sound quality.
    Yes I would do this choice.

    The MusicMan Sub is not a stingray, but it doesnt disappoint. It is American made, which is supposed to foster quality and reliability. The Sub is great. It is pretty standard as far as basses go. It has a volume, a gain, and a tone knob. These three knobs, combined with the single humbucker style pickup are just enough to allow you to get any sound you want, whether it be smooth jazz or dirty rock. It has a bolt on neck, but it's fine.

    UTILIZATION

    The neck has a nice feel, it is neither too wide nor too thin. It tapers from the body to the headstock. An there is plenty of room to stretch to the high notes on the last frets. The stingray style design is nice, and the diamond-plate,…

    UTILIZATION

    The neck has a nice feel, it is neither too wide nor too thin. It tapers from the body to the headstock. An there is plenty of room to stretch to the high notes on the last frets. The stingray style design is nice, and the diamond-plate, oval pick guard is very unique. There is no thumb rest, but i dont see why one couldnt be added if need be. It isn't very hard to get a nice sound out of it, but since it's active, you have to rely on battery life. It would be neat if there was a meter for the battery so the bass doesn't go out in the middle of a show.

    SOUNDS

    I think any bassist would be comfortable with this bass. Of course, the design is more rugged than a jazz bass, but it delivers whatever you ask for. I use it with a trace elliot gp7 and I couldnt be happier with such a combination. The gain control allows you to smooth out the tone as much as you want to get that slippery jazz styling, but cranking the gain is great for les claypool slaps. You can tell when the battery is dying because suddenly the bass starts sounding distorted, which is pretty cool actually.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've been using this bass for about 4 years, and it's been a joy since. I have had to replace the circuit board in it once but I use it quite excessively, so I'll take the blame for that one. This bass was conveniently priced and exceptionally versatile compared to basses in the same price range. The neck is smooth, the tone is great. The action is easily adjusted. I like having the truss adjustment on the face off the bass, at the bottom of the neck, It helps you keep in mind the possibility you may need to adjust. I would definitely make the same choice in buying this bass, it was well worth the price... and Im happy to have it.
