two different beasts. Love the Stingray, love the L2000/2500. I prefer the G&L as it has more voicing options. You can make it sound close to a Stingray, a P bass, or a J bass with a flip of a couple of switches. You don't need to have multiple basses for different types of music. Yes, the Stingray has an awesome sound that works in just about every style of music. The G&L just has that many more tone options. But gota have one of each!! Good demo!
@wei-chengfang9904 I think they're referring to the camera work on the leaning basses. It made me feel like I was at a gig and the basses were falling in slow motion. Gave me anxiety, too! Lol
Tone sounds much more different between both pups on G&L and StingRay! While personally I prefer the tone of both pickups on L2000! Thanks for your comment!
@@wei-chengfang9904Not measured yet, but I think a stingrays pickup is basically between where the two pickups are on the L2000, that’s probably why having both pick ups on with some bass cut is stingray-ish, but not quite the same.
@@Jonathan_Doe_ You’re right! The StingRay pickup is slightly forward to L2000’s bridge pickup. While having both I find it both pickups on in parallel mode sounds even differently than L2000 bridge pickup versus StingRay. It sounds more like a modern two humbucker-equipped bass, such as Sadowsky MetroLine sc4. But just like what you had said, maybe adjusting the eq would give me that StingRay feature. Thanks for your comment!
Thanks for your kindest comment! Yeah the difference is also over my expectation. Clanky tone from stingray is unique and non-replaceable, while the L2000 gives that enormous gain output thanks to the MFD pickup.
@@billydecker9396 MFD pickups make a passive bass sounds like an active bass (high output and own headroom). L1000 is amazing, precision bass on steroids!
@@irynaburkatska3910 Sire basses have great cost performance. P8 is a pj bass, I would probably choose Sire z3 or z7 to mimic the StingRay tone. Thanks for your comments!
Its the stingray for me. It just has that absolutely unique voice that is unmistakable.
(Great video- all playing👍)
Thanks for your great comment! StingRay has the coolest tone!
The G&L is no joke but the bite and growl of the StingRay is hard to beat!!! Great playing!
@@Bassic778 Totally fascinated with StingRay’s growl.
@@wei-chengfang9904 Me too!!!

@@johngsteel When it comes to tone variations, not many can beat G&L!
love the mids on that G&L...........
@@unisonosc1617 Agree!
The stingray sounds amazing!
@@justinjohnson8816 Stingray is always the best!

Those basses leaning gave me major anxiety haha ngl got caught of guard
@@elevenade Yeah, really tough to choose one. Thanks for your comment!

@@philiphowe7519 Haha I got it! The bass leaning part is a tribute to MJ’s 45 degree anti-gravity forward lean part in smooth criminal!
G&L is cleaner, more articulate. I gotta go against the crowd-I like the Stingray. Like the man said, it has that “irreplaceable sound”
Agree! Stingray’s tone and G&L’s versatility, each owns its irreplaceable characteristics. Thanks for your comment!
I like the G&L!
Get both😅
@horrorshowbass Haha. Best choice!
You can't compare A bridge pup with the Ray. Put the L 2000 in parallel with BOTH pups. Then you have a fight.

Thank you for this. It's great to have a video that does a comparison and only bass, no talking! I could really hear the difference, very clean.

MFD PUs all the way for me. I have the L-1000.
@@billydecker9396 MFD pickups make a passive bass sounds like an active bass (high output and own headroom). L1000 is amazing, precision bass on steroids!
Which neck do you prefer?
To my ear it's the G&L
I feel the strings are making the most difference between the two. Both sound good but flats on the L2000 in series i think would win it.
Interesting! Never try flats on the L2000, thanks for your advice! It is time to feel the charm of flat wounds!
MM just got dat tone man.
Surely! It’s called “Music”, man.
Strings are a huge part of the sound on a bass.
@@ericpalmer3588 Agree. Musicman with Apex strings and G&L with daddarios.
Great playinf
Thanks for your compliment!
MM😮
@@ludekrauer5705 🤘🤘🤘
The MM hands down. I have never seen any musician anywhere play G&L guitars and Bass, who buys em? how does G&L turn a profit??
@@son0fsocal Really love the MM stingray tone. G&L basses are superb and they surely deserve more owners.
I like the G&L, it is cleaner, more articulate. The MM sounds "musty", muffig to me.
@@ulrichspringer4305 Thanks for your comment! Also the G&L is more versatile!
The ray has the better tone in this vid. I found the 2k a bit thin and boxy sounding.
Yeah the StingRay is thicker and meatier.
Apples and Oranges
@@learnmusic488 Yeah, both have its strengths!
Of these two basses, I choose the Sire. 😂 Sire P8, for example.
