Ernie ball music man stingray HH. I have a 2006 and had it since 2008. It’s active and the best bass I’ve ever owned in terms of playability and versatility. Can’t recommend it enough

I'm building my home studio and I'm looking for a 2nd bass that would be active and very versatile. I also prefer classic body shapes. My budget would be about 1600$ usd or less if possible. 

I've been looking online, because I have only one shop in my area with 5 basses. 

Thank you

Looking for bass recommendations

 Let's get to seeing how this thing sounds. What you're about to hear is a tune I recorded with the Stingray Special. All you are hearing is a DI mixed with a Galeon Krueger Universal Audio amp-sim mixed together and then compressed, and that is it. That's all I did to the bass signal

 It's... Now the 18-volt preamp also sounds amazing, and that is in part to the new neodymium magnet on the humbucker

. Now the 18-volt preamp also sounds amazing, and that is in part to the new neodymium magnet on the humbucker. The Stingray Special also has 22 stainless steel frets as opposed to the 21 nickel silver on the other model. Now the Stingray Special also comes in a single and dual humbucker configuration, but you know what? Enough of my yapping

 It's just an all-around workhorse, and it literally can do anything. I have this one tuned to drop B, and it's tight, and it's percussive. But, real talk, if you are looking for a workhorse bass to beat the crap out of and never be let down by, definitely check out the Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray Special. It will not let you down, I promise

2018 Ernie Ball Music Man Sting Ray Special!

The special has such an amazing mid range that means it will fit in the mix much better and has a more vintage tone. I absolutely adore it but I can't afford it yet so instead I'm using a Sterling with the treble cut and pressure wound strings to emulate it. Imo though the stingray special can do the classic stingray sound easily plus more sounds in a way other models can't do as well.

I’m looking at getting a Music Man Stingray 5 HH, and see that a few years ago they switched to an 18-volt, two-battery preamp (called the Stingray Special). Can anyone tell me what the difference in tone is between the two?

Stingray vs. Stingray Special

 What's up gear mortals? Trey Xavier here. On today's edition of Gear God's Quality Control, we're going to be taking a look at the 2018 Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray 5 bass. The model that I've got in for review is a white dual humbucker model with an off-white pickguard and a rosewood fretboard. Although if you're like me and rosewood isn't really your jam, you can also get it with a maple or ebony fretboard

 You can access the myriad of tonal expression via the combination of a three-band EQ and a guitar style five-way pickup selector switch, and the flexibility is really kind of absurd. Now I'm going to take you through the plethora of tonal options on the bass controls so that you can hear some of the different sounds that you can get out of the bass, and then I'll talk about it a little bit. I'm going to take you through the plethora of tonal options on the bass controls so that you can hear some of the different sounds that you can get out of the bass. The 2018 Stingray takes an already spectacular classic design and gives it a modern touch without losing what made it great in the first place

 The new 18-volt preamp allows a cleaner and more dynamic expression with the increased headroom. A small but really nice improvement is the tuner buttons. I had a Stingray many years ago with the old-style tuners that were just flat, and they were not very friendly on the fingers, but these are nicely tapered, rounded, and slightly thicker in the middle, and are very comfortable to use. Like many of the changes made to this new model, it's kind of a quality of life upgrade, because like I said before, the Stingray was already great

They're solid in my opinion(and HEAVY), one of the few Ibanez models that you pick up and say to yourself, "This ain't no usual Ibanez..."

 Thick P bass-y neck, massive bridge that offers top load and string through, it's just an awesome bass to me...I have the fretted and fretless ATK300, and a PGB1 is super hard to find right now

.". Thick P bass-y neck, massive bridge that offers top load and string through, it's just an awesome bass to me.

I’m looking to closely replicate the tone of a genuine EB MM Stingray but unfortunately they are quite a bit out of my budget. There is a Ibanez ATK PGB1 (Paul Gray signature bass) on sale on marketplace that is slightly out of my price range but I figured I should buy it and be happy instead of buying something cheap and dull sounding and still being dissatisfied. I have only slightly looked into the Sterling series Ray4, but from what I’ve seen they do not have that Stingray famous “punchy” mid/treble rich tone. Can anyone contest this? Can a Ray4 be setup/improved to more closely sound like a genuine Stingray or is this a lost cause? Any other suggestions for mimicking the stingray tone? I have had 2 Ibanez SR series and although they both had great tone it still wasn’t exactly what I was looking for.

Ibanez ATK or Sterling Ray4

 And we look at them and just kind of celebrate them in this series. So one of the last ones I did is what you see behind me right now, which is a 73 or 74 Gibson grabber bass that I own, which is a wonderful instrument. We did a video on that one. And today we're looking at this Ibanez ATK 300

 And then instead of a passive tone knob, this is an active bass with a preamp in it that runs on a battery. And this is a three-band active EQ right here. So we have treble, mids, and bass. So obviously, you know, with this different flexibility, that makes this a great studio bass and also a great live bass

 And, you know, if you can come across one of these ATKs, it's a beautiful bass. I mean, this natural piece of wood here is just really nice looking, really beautiful to the touch. The neck is really smooth. It feels like kind of a satin urethane finish to it that's kind of been rubbed down a little bit over the years

 And what we have here is a three-way toggle switch to switch between the different rails in the pickup. Another cool thing is we have a master volume here. And then instead of a passive tone knob, this is an active bass with a preamp in it that runs on a battery. And this is a three-band active EQ right here

Ibanez ATK300 Bass Guitar // Vintage Artifacts

 Alright, so I've removed the back of the ATK bass here, and we've got our battery, our preamp, and I've also removed the pickup selector switch, which is attached to another little circuit board, and on the front of that board, there is a small cap and a resistor here, and I've done some probing around, and I've determined that that is in fact the filter for the traditional mode, so I've been trying to measure them in circuit, and it's not really working out too well for me. It looks to be, judging on the color code of the resistor, it's about a 9k resistor, but the cap, the markings are just not telling me what the value is, so I'll probably have to pull it off and measure it, and then we'll leave the resistor in place and try and select a new capacitor that will give us more of a roll off of the high end in the traditional mode. So I'll get that out of there, and I don't have my soldering iron in this room with me, so I'm going to actually not show the soldering part, but you want to come around to the back and find out where the cap comes through, and basically just heat up both terminals with your soldering iron, and you can just pull it right out. It should just come right out if you heat up both of those terminals at once

 So I'll do that, and we'll figure out what the new value is. Alright, I've got the new cap installed here, and I'll flip it over so we can take a look, and there's the new cap. It actually looks a little bit larger, but there's still enough room to cram it all in there, and I'll actually take the old cap and just tape it to the back of the cover plate in case I ever decide to put this thing back to its original state. So we'll get it all back together, and then we'll play a sound sample

 Alright, so we'll start off in the bright mode. We'll do a sample, and basically the way it was before, traditional and bright, there was very little difference. It was really hard to tell you even flick the switch around. So here's bright, and here's the new mode, the new traditional mode with more high-end rolled up

 Well, on my particular bass, I can barely tell the difference between traditional mode and the bright mode, so I'm going to open this up, and I suspect that there's a capacitor and a resistor that we can modify to have this thing roll off a bit more of the high so it's more pronounced in the traditional position. So we'll take it apart, and we'll have a look.

90's Ibanez ATK300 Bass - Traditional Mode Mod

 All control set, flat, pick up position one, volume up full. You can hear that it's really close to a Music Man stingray. It's kind of got that signature high-end thing going for it. Let's go ahead and hear position two

 The other notable feature about this guitar is that it is massive. You can see it's got this huge hunk of metal for a bridge and the biggest chunkiest neck I've ever seen on an Ibanez bass. Ibanez basses are kind of famous or infamous for having extremely thin, fast necks, but the ATK is certainly a departure from that vision. Most Ibanezs feel more like a thin jazz bass, or the ATK feels more like a thicker P bass

As you can probably hear, there are a lot of tones in this bass, and I haven't even touched the EQ at all

Ibanez ATK300 Review/Tone Tour

 overall, a great bass for anyone that needs a big Stingrayish tone and a lot of capabilities.

 I have very large hands so the big chunky neck felt like it was made for me. my only complaints are that there's no real convenient place to put your thumb, and a neck pickup (the 700 series has one though, but in this price range, it's not needed the tone is spectacular) Sometimes is seems that the mids are a little bit too "low" but the EQ makes up for that. overall, a great bass for anyone that needs a big Stingrayish tone and a lot of capabilities.

I was looking for a G&L when I found this at a shop, it blew me away, not only with it's tone and playability but also with its price. It's definitely not a lightweight bass (though not too heavy really) but some players may find it heavy.

Surprised to say the least

 I found out that one of the wires was lose from the soldering thing. Once I had that fixed a couple of days later there was a buzzing sound. I found out that it was the truss rod that was doing that. I returned the bass a couple of days after that

 I found out that it was the truss rod that was doing that. I returned the bass a couple of days after that. The neck is very playable, and the bass has a great sound, but just watch out for those little problems.

 When I got home I tried it out for a little bit and then the bass would silence on and off. It was definitely the bass. I found out that one of the wires was lose from the soldering thing. Once I had that fixed a couple of days later there was a buzzing sound
