StingRay

[rhfactor4]

I changed my mind and decided to get a :

black StingRay
rosewood fretboard
black pickguard
matching headstock

since bass central didnt have it on stock, i am ordering off of musicians friend with a money order, im sending it tomorrow
this is my first musicman!

i chose StingRay because i like the p neck better, i don't really know why i like thicker necks better... i have small asian hands ahaha, and im a teen so yeah. And also i like bigger bodies so i can rock out easier without the bass flopping around everywhere. yeahh rock on.

Alright, RH! Welcome to the MM club! Black Headstock - can't wait to see it. Post Pics! Are you going to replace the black p/g? My recommendation is always Abalone for a black SR. Abalone knobs too!

no lol, i want to keep it looking dark for a while, then maybe change it to a white pearloid pickguard.

Your new Sting Ray

will look the same as my new Sting Ray 5.....Same EXACT setup!

I ordered mine back in March.....I e-mailed them recently to ask when it would ship out from the factory, and Scott Ball e-mailed me back to say that it should ship next week or so. I can't wait!

If you don't mind me asking - what made you choose THAT configuration? As for me, I play for my church, and our piano is a shiny black grand piano.....I set up next to it, so I thought I'd keep it uniform.

I also plan to get a Sting Ray, and this time, I'll get a little more creative with the setup (the folks on this site have inspired me by seeing their creations). I LOVE the one that SpectorBassGuy has with the matching knobs......

Now that's G.A.S.! New StingRay 5 isn't here yet and you're already talking about getting another Ray! Abalone is our friend!

And don't listen to those guys with their fancy schmancy abalone pickguards. Black on black is where it's at!

hey, I didn't get a chance to send the order yet, but im going to very soon.

hey, is there a difference in sound between a sterling and stingray?

 

[Jazzbassman23]

I own an SR4, SR5, and a Sterling, and they all sound different. The Sterling is definitely not as aggressive sounding as the Ray, but it certainly can hold its own. It's actually got a different pickup. The Sterling has a smaller body and slimmer neck which I find more than makes up for any sound differences. If I need the Stingray sound, I pull it out, but I play the Sterling most of the time.
