Blind test: MusicMan StingRay 2004 vs Cort GB75JH

[stingrayPete1977]

Awesome! I liked both.

Funny, I had the GB75, great bass, but never tried to get the MM sound from it. It's a great tone, but was never what I was looking for.

 but then if I buy it and ship to you I guess we get the same price

Ha, got it. The second sample sounds slightly more controlled and a bit more balanced throughout the frequencies, so reveals a little more complex harmonics/timbre. However the Cort gets so close you could just get the one that feels better!

You are an evil person. A beautifully evil person

Shame the nut is way wider than the Ray5.

That's what makes it attractive to me

Just listened to it through my phone at the lowest volume setting held up to my ear (!) and thought it was obvious that the MM was #2. The first one sounds thinner due to the pickup being closer to the bridge, the second one is fatter and growlier.
