UTILIZATION

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 6pt 12pt;"> <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: FR;">Very simple, the violin of this bass is very well finished with a Stingray entirely conventional.
The wood body is announced by the brand under the name "Hard Wood", a generic name that is usually used for exotic woods.

The maple neck is bolted to a room. It is not oiled but as varnish on all musicman for several years. Very comfortable, whatever the position, however it offers only 21 frets instead of 24 on a maple fingerboard Rosewood also available on this model.</span>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 6pt 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"> <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: FR;">The tuners are Schaller robust and accurate.</span>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 6pt 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"> <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: FR;">As for the brand Musicman bridge is steel with stainless steel saddles.</span>



SOUNDS

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt;"> <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: FR;">The sounds of HS remain in Stingray Musicman standards but with a very broad palette of sounds offered by the combination of microphones.</span>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 6pt 12pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"> <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: FR;">The side humbucking bridge and neck single coil side are headed 3-band EQ (treble medium and low) and a very precise volume control. Selector has 5 possible combinations that offers a broad range. Musicman aficionados will be delighted but may discover the sounds of the Fender precision that is not found on other low musicman.</span>

OVERALL OPINION

<span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: FR; mso-ansi-language: FR; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Comes in a hard case and molded the musicman Stingray HS is an excellent bass that will delight lovers of his musicman seeking new musical horizons typed Fender precision.</span>
