• Best Musicman Bass

  
  As reviewed by Kent on 5/20/2010

  I did not like the Musicman basses I tried before I found this! It must be "new" and is described as the classic. It has a beautiful high gloss polished aged maple neck I love. The other Musicman basses I tried were kind of unfinished and felt slow. This bass resounds deep and beefy! Love the looks and feel. Has simplified controls and one humbecker pup which is more than enough output to rattle the windoows! Check out this new version Musicman Ernie Ball Bass before you buy anything else! I bought it and I looked for weeks and played just about everything else in this price range.

• Best Bass Under 2 Grand on the Market

  
  As reviewed by Mike on 7/7/2010

  I bought one of these new Classic Series Stingrays yesterday after about 45 minutes of trying one in the store. They have the perfect neck, sound and feel. The 7.5 radius, smaller frets, high gloss flame maple neck is out of this world. It glides better than anything Ive played which ranges from Fender American Std to Fender CST Shops, to 3,500 Warwicks and more. The passive humbucker with the active 2 band eq is awesome. Has a huge round, fat in your face deep tone that we all dream of. They are a bit on the heavy side but that doesnt bother me one bit, because the tone is worth it. Anyone looking for a pure, raw down right old school tone look no further.

• UNREAL!

  
  As reviewed by Jonathan Thebom on 3/7/2012

  What can you say? It's amazing. My fist Music Man product and I am seriously happy with it. My friend who works at GC kept recommending this bass to me while I was in the market for one. It took a little getting use to the set up being use to a Fender Jazz and an Ibanez for 10 years. It's a little beefier, however more comfortable and it only takes a few weeks to get use to the pick up set up. But the TONE... oh man, so good, it's just classic. I don't know how they do it but somehow they get these things to sound just fantastic! Any hoo - if you are looking for a new bass and are in any way considering one, get into GC and try one out, at first it may seem different but trust me, you will love it!!! Price is a bit much, but hey, American Made! You really can't go wrong. Unfortunately my Fender is collecting dust now. This is the type of instrument you will keep for the rest of your life. I don't even think I will consider another bass for the next 10 years. Thanks Ernie Ball!!!
