Hi All,
I just got a Stingray Classic. I bought it a couple of days ago and gigged on it that evening.
When I started playing with other players I quickly realized that the volume of the G string was barely detectable. I took it home, lowered the G, and raised the height of the pickup to make it closer to the G.
I don't mind "tweaking" my basses a bit but usually the factory, including the Music Man factory, are better.
This isn't a general complaint against Music Man. The Classic I just bought brings my collection of Music Man basses up to 3 and I love them all. Music Man makes REALLY NICE basses.
I've never had a problem buying a new bass and taking it right to a gig. I've done it a couple of times. Oh well.
