Thanks for the review, Bob. I've wanted a passive stingray for twenty years. Just ordered a black one from Sweetwater. Your review convinced me to give it a try.
@@BobBlackBass It just arrived on Saturday and I've been playing it for two days at home. No gigs yet. First impression is "I LOVE THIS BASS." Mine weighs 9 lbs and 1 oz. I'll install hipshot ultra light tuners if I can find a direct swap w/out needing to drill holes. That should bring it down under 9 lbs. Sweetwater did a setup and installed my favorite strings. It plays like a dream - low action and very comfortable. And nice tone. She's a keeper. I'm extremely happy with this bass and with Sweetwater's service. Your review convinced me to give this bass a try. Thanks, Bob!
- Good to see a new video Bob. How about a video talking about your cab switch to the 4x10 Hartke. How does it sound, hows the weight and why the switch away from the Mesa cabs.
I'm going to have to stop by to give it a go. It seems like a solid passive option at an attractive price range. They also have a fiesta red looking one.
I think the weight is the problem for all Sterling by MM basses. I think that is on purpose, if they made them light "no one" would buy American made MM basses.
Hey Bob, I get what you're saying, however even on my Ernie Ball Stingray I usually have the treble off or almost off. I know a lot of people like that very snappy treble and buy a Stingray because of that.
Bob and I can go to the store for a bit of a cloquet or something else to go to the store for a bit of a sunroom and get it tomorrow morning and I can go to the store and get the car and I can go to bed if I can go with Robbie Hagberg do I need a ride boss
Doesn't matter, he writes the lyrics for one of the biggest pop punk bands in the world. He can't sing or play guitar so he plays bass, and he does that fine. When your band is big enough that you earn a signature, then you can start looking down on him.

Hey Rattmann, I'm sure you'll like it!

This is first review of this bass that sounds good to me. You make it sound great Bob!
Hey Christopher, thanks. I thought that the bass sounded very good. The sound you hear is just the bass coming out of a small amp. No processing
@@BobBlackBass I play a stingray special. That low mid punch is very nice from a passive bass. Prob sound great with a. bIt of OD.

Ok will do

Yeah, I think you'll be impressed!
Sir, I'm from Europe. Is 650 dollars the retail price taxes included?
Retail not tax included.

Haha could be!
Maybe light weight tuners could help reduce the weight issue.
Hey Steve, I'm sure that would help though the bass didn't have neck dive. The weight was mostly in the body.
Bob, a passive MM seems strange to me - active electronics are what gave them that distinctive tone...

A signature bass for a guy that can barely play?? That's marketing for you
Haha
@@BobBlackBass The measure of a signature model should be that you like the instrument even if you don’t care at all about the artist.
@@erickleefeld4883 I hear ya. But, it should be merit based for the artist.
I don’t understand the dislike for this guy

it sounds like a p bass
Hey Sweet ugly, not exactly but I hear what you're saying. It doesn't have that really snappy high end.
