OH MAH GERD I WANT TO DO HORRIFIC. AND WET THINGS TO DANNY.

OOF.

Man he does good work!

On a side note... Music Man makes it way too hard to differentiate between the Sterling, StingRay, and the Classic.

[behndy]

thannnnnnks! yah. Dann just KILLS it. lurv. HEEM.

i don't know shit about MM stuff. i have a SUB5 that i need to list on CL. i am a lazy, LAZY man.

The Sterling has a 5 way pickup selesctor like a Strat.
The Stingray has a wider, rounder body than the Sterling as well as the metal control plate that the knobs come through. It's neck is a bit wider too.
The Classic has a 2 band EQ (3 knobs), only one humbucker pickup (the others can have variations) and mutes in the bridge.

I wish everyone could see my BB. It looks sooooo good in person. I have a couple things I'm thinking about sending his way.

The MM stuff is more of a curosity thing right now for me... Sub? I might be interested if you're willing to ship...

zooOooOoOOOooOoOoOoOOOOooom!!

DAYUM don't wash your balls, fondle them, then shake lots of hands and high five random people at the show. HAVE A BLAST!

Pilot, those SUBs are supposed to be pretty decent, i have never played one. Supposedly the differences are things like the body is planed on the front, little stuff like that.

[Eric!]

Stingrays have a symmetric pickguard, while the Sterlings are a bit cocked.

I love Stingrays. They're my favorite bass EVER.

[Deltaphoenix]

You have good taste sir!

I've always been interested in them but have yet to play one. GC is having a 4th of July sale...

Ughhhh, so good live. I'm bummed they're not making it to TX on this tour. At least ASIWYFA and Zechs Marquise are. I swear, Sargent House is probably the best label out there right now.

DUSTIN FOR THE SYNTH-BASS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just bought an ultra-rare Peavey MidiBase from the 90s upgraded to CyberBase software (last model). This was engineered by the guy that does the Industrial Radio MidiBass, essentially the same system, 4 sensors per fret for note message-so very low latency because it doesn't have to figure out the note, and the midi pickups send velocity and the bridge sends bend messages, etc. I can now control Rack Synths, Hardware Synths, Software Synths, anything with a Midi in, polyphonically with my MidiBase. I have two of the control modules that the bass plugs into (even rarer and they are needed for the bass to work, so I have a back-up), a rack synth, and an Anatek StudioMerge so I can do all of the Midi Routing. I plan to (maybe) control the rack synth, and my M Audio Venom with the MidiBase, I will use my computer and Maschine to send a Midi Clock message to the synths so time-based effects, sequencing, and arpegiators are always in time. i will use Maschine for beats and samples. My Venom does keysplits, the MidiBase does string splits so I will be able to have multiple sounds controlled at a time....Madness!

I had to sell my (used to be JWAR's) MusicMan 25th anniversary bass today. I was bummed. I am selling other gear too because my lady and I are a little poor for awhile and I have a ton of gear. I got A DEAL on all of this...so, all and all It has been a good day.
