Funky Dunky Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 https://youtu.be/94kI7XW-wdc I want one! It'll be easy for anyone who has half a clue about MMs. For some reason I can't tell if it's a Stingray or a Sterling or what it is specifically.

40hz Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) Appears to simply be a 5 string Sterling to my eyes! Edited September 4, 2015 by 40hz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duarte Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Sterling 5, aye. They only came into existence relatively recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Dunky Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 I think it's a sublime-sounding bass. Helps that it's through a hell of an amp, and Ed Friedland is a monster player. Probly sound awful in my hands. Still want one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duarte Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 The Sterling 5's have the exact same pickup and electronics of the Stingray 5's that came before them = solid fuk'n bass tone. Stingray 5's now have actual Stingray electronics (pretty much) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Dunky Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Watched this clip again and fell in love with the bass again. It's called a Sterling 5, and not, say a Ray35 or something? I'm having trouble finding one to price it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoo Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 One of these - http://www.music-man.com/instruments/basses/sterling-5.html Ernie Ball Musicman / EBMM - the USA company that makes Stingrays and Sterlings etc Sterling by Musicman - Far East based company that makes licensed copies of EBMM instruments.... they used to do a version of the EBMM Sterling, which they sold as the SbMM SB14 - As far as I know it was only available as a 4 string, and is no longer listed on their website http://www.sterlingbymusicman.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
