Nice giveaway! Too bad for me (and good for you!) that brazilian citizens can't enter this...

A question: since there aren't many MM basses here in Brazil, can someone tell me the difference between the Sterling and the Stingray?

BTW, I own a translucent red Stingray5! It really growls on stage! :cool:

The letters A, E, L and Y. Oh, and the Sterling is named after a person, while the Stingray is named after a sea creature. Or a car.:D


The Sterling has a smaller body and narrower neck (think Stingray = P bass-like width, Sterling = J bass-like width). I think the electronics are different, too, but I don't know exactly how they are different, since I'm a drooling Bongoloid.

Hmmm... There's a song by the Red Hot Chilly Peppers which says "The stingrays must be fat this year"... Does this refers to the tone of the MM or to the appetite of the fish? :D

That is a very nice bass!

Speaking of which, I have a pretty good friend in Brazil, a guitar player....long shot, but he plays out a lot so maybe....Juliano Buarque.

I understand that he's very popular with the girls.

Welcome to the board, amigo! (Yo solamente hablo espanol, pero puedo leer tu idioma mas o menos.)

Errrrr....Smoke on the Water.....in Spanish.

El humo sobre el agua, I guess.

Doesn't have the same fancy ring as "Smoke on the Water", does it?

y fuego en el cielo,

We speak portuguese here in Brazil... Not too similar to spanish, but if you can speak spanish, you can understand portuguese.

Here's "Smoke on the water" in portuguese:

"Fumaça sobre a água, fogo no céu"!

:D
