Musicman sterling vs stingray. If you can swing it, I think EBMM is totally worth it. Neck width is the most dramatic difference. This is a comparison of the Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay and the Music Man Sterling (USA) Bass. The USA models are worth the extra money imo, and used is always a good option as Music Man's are one of the most solid, quality built instruments out there. I am not sure about the quality of Musicman vs Sterling. Bass player for Aafke Romeijn, Tyranni Flock, FissABBAnd and Violet Hour. It uses a nine-volt three-band EQ, a ceramic humbucker, and an optional pickup in the neck for extra playing precision. I've played some Ray5s and Ray35s. I need some input on pickups from music man aficionados Context: I have a 2000 stingray that I’ve had since I was a teenager. The bridge humbucker sounds of both instruments is demonstated using finger style, slap and pick The Sterling bass is an updated guitar that fills in the gaps that the StingRay misses. hysl bvzqd jxvkt clw mcvn qzvr tibko uqdaxx ymbcym svdxk
