Wow, I played a Stingray 4HH in red PLS(Seemed like black cherry burst) clear PG at Long and Mcquade today. The thing is a monster, position 3, position 4.... Eden Rig. Kabam.

So..... I put it on lay-a-way. In hiding until Saturday.

Now here is where I call thee forumites. I think I might prefer a sterling. I generally like a thin neck, but the ray seemed comfy, it was a tad heavy, it had a maple board, it wasn't a LE, and it only had 4 strings :). Am I too picky?

I love the bass, but I might be a little trigger happy haha. I can't try a sterling, how much thinner is the neck? I want, I want.

That is a Limited Edition that you played. It's Pearl Redburst and only available at Long and McQuade.

So I think we've pretty much decided for you that you're buying this LE Stingray.

Then the only question becomes if you think you might like to try a Sterling, you can always get one later (in addition). You should try to find a Sterling to play to see if you like the neck & body shape.


This sounds too cool to pass up.

The Sterling neck isn't that much narrower, it's only 1/8" usually. The HH Stingray is an awesome bass.

Hey MCBTunes, I'm in Canada too, I go to Long and Mcquades all the time, but haven't seen any new stingrays yet. What location did you play it at? I'm in Surrey, B.C. If you do get that bass please post pics, because If it is infact exclusive to L&M, i think (hope) i'll get one.

See, this is why we should annex Canada. They're getting cooler stuff than us now!

If we invade Canada @ 8:00 Am tomorr0w, we'll be set to take over Mexico by 8:15.

My advice:

BUY IT

We only made 50 of them...
