DirkThrust Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 (edited) It's finally penetrated my thick skull that I'm never going to get on with the Stingray sound so I want to trade this for a Jazz. It's less than two weeks old so I'd rather trade than sell. I A/B'ed this in the shop with a Stingray and couldn't tell the difference. If anything the Ray34 played better than the Stingray but that could have been down to better setup. The fit and finish is absolutely faultless as you would expect from Musicman. It's as new except that I fitted another pickup then replaced the stock pickup. I'm after a Jap or Mexican 60s or 70s reissue or Roadworn or USA Standard. Will include some cash from me depending on the value of the bass offered. Would also consider a Mexican 50s P Edited June 19, 2010 by AndyMartin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raslee Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 (edited) Interested in this and some cash from moi ? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=78895&hl=squire"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...5&hl=squire[/url] It plays suprisingly well, and i would have to say better than a mex in my opinion-the pick ups are nice too. Fitted with Badass etc and the decal is superb....you'd be hard pushed to find better IMO Edited May 14, 2010 by Rasta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munkonthehill Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 whats the difference in the stingray, sterling, ray34 and sub???????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkThrust Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 [quote name='munkonthehill' post='870517' date='Jun 18 2010, 09:29 AM']whats the difference in the stingray, sterling, ray34 and sub????????????????[/quote] Between the Sterling Ray34 and the Stingray, not very much. It's just built using cheaper Indonesian labour but is essentially a Stingray. I compared it to a USA Stingray in the shop and couldn't tell the difference. The only obvious cost saving differences are that it doesn't have the compensating nut and the battery compartment is a cheaper version with the clip on connecter rather than the slot in jobby on the Stingray, and it comes with a gigbag rather than a hardcase. The SUB was Musicman's first attempt at a lower cost Stingray. It had a cheaper finish but again was essentially a Stingray. I guess they discontinued it because the cost saving measures didn't save that much considering it was made using expensive American labour and they struggled to make money on it. The Musicman Sterling is similar to a Stingray but with a thinner neck and more tonal options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
