My first ever Stingray. I bought it a few weeks ago, but I just can't get on with the Stingray tone, unfortunately. Made in Indonesia, it's a lovely bass that compares very favourably to a full-fat USA Stingray, by all accounts. Really easy to play, with straight-forward passive electronics. Mahogany body, Rosewood fingerboard, Parchment pickguard - all completely stock and unaltered. For those who haven't come across these before, here's what Music Man Say About the Sterling Stingray Short Scale bass, slightly edited for grammar and gush...

 

"The Sterling by Music Man Short Scale StingRay bass has the iconic StingRay sound shrunk into a 30” scale length package. With easier accessibility, a passive boost, and a single humbucking pickup with higher output neodymium magnets, the Short Scale StingRay offers comfort without compromise. The pickup configuration includes parallel, true single-coil, and series modes for diverse tonal options."


Weight on kitchen scales is 3.8 Kgs. ID number on neckplate is SR 43590. I'm the second owner. The first owner has given me the original receipt for £699 from Bassdirect, dated 12th October 2020. The bass has hardly been played. I'm struggling to find any marks on it anywhere. All controls work absolutely perfectly. Currently strung with old Status halfwounds. Comes with: new strings, original QA hang tag, original neck and saddle adjusting allen keys, Musicman catalogue, and a really well-padded "Sterling by Musicman" branded gig bag, itself worth £35. Any inspection and any trial welcomed. My photos aren't the best, so just let me know if any extra shots are needed - not a problem.
