Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray 4 Bass, Black, Single Humbucker, Maple Board Review

Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray 4 Bass, Black, Single Humbucker, Maple Board
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Listen to the bass lines from the following songs:
Rage Against The Machine's "Take the Power Back"
Red Hot Chili Pepper's "Aeroplane"
Sade's "Smooth Operator"
and Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust".
Feel the punchy, aggressive growl and the big bottom and bright highs. That's the sound of a Stingray.
Designed by Leo Fender and introduced in the late 70s, the SR4 is one of the most recognizable and iconic basses in music. Its brilliant, in your face tone signature is unmistakeable. The bold bridge humbucker pickup coupled to the 9 volt active preamp cuts through the densest band mixes like a blowtorch through ice. Available in either 2 band (punchy and HUGE) or 3 band (growly and aggressive) flavors, the available adjustments extract every bit of tonal possibilities from the pickup.
Today's current Ernie Ball production Stingrays are hands down the best built basses from any major maker. The attention to detail is unmatched and the customer service is unsurpassed. The neck to pocket fits are perfect, the hardware flawless and the finish immaculate. Buy with confidence.

Aria TAB-66 Electric Bass - Brown Sunburst Review

Aria TAB-66 Electric Bass - Brown Sunburst
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My first semi-hollow and I think this looks and plays just as described and advertised. Got mine from Amazon last Friday. Lovely sunburst. Gigged Saturday. Great sound. The other bassist in the band plays an EB MM Stingray. He played my Aria and everyone thought the Aria sounded way better. I would like to give it 5 stars but I think the absence of a hardshell case is a strike against it though. 5 stars for the bass, 4 stars for the package.

Aria has been building the semi-acoustic, thinline TAB-66 since 1967. This bass has been used on some of the most popular and ground-breaking recordings and is still popular today. Just look at it! You know you wanna play it....

Aria SB-404 Bass Guitar - Natural Review

Aria SB-404 Bass Guitar - Natural
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I like the sound of this bass. The bass and treble controls and active pickups give it enough versatility of sound to play any kind of music. However, the tone (blend) control is practically useless. Were it not for that I would have given this Aria model five stars. This will definitely be my primary instrument for a while. Note: The SB 404 body is made of ovangkol wood - very nice looking but quite heavy as compared to most basses. But after a few days I became accustomed to that. Now my other bass feels light.

The SB-404 is an amazing, neck-thru bass with many professional features that players will enjoy. The ovangkol body and maple/nato 5-ply neck are the perfect foundation for the two BDS-5 pickups, making this a powerful tone machine that is ideal for every genre of music.

Hofner Icon Series Beatle Bass Guitar - Sunburst Review

Hofner Icon Series Beatle Bass Guitar - Sunburst
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As a professional musician and university music professor, I have pretty high standards. Of course, I'm primarily a woodwind performer, and although I've fooled around with guitar since high school, this was my first electric bass guitar. Hofner's Icon model has cheaper wood and generally some cheaper parts than their professional level basses, but I love this instrument. The short scale is perfect for moving seamlessly between guitar and bass and makes technically demanding passages easier than on a standard scale bass. I've gotten to the point where I've taken the bass to parties and played a couple of paying gigs with it. The intonation is pretty good, although it is not up to the level of professional instruments. The main issue is that 1st fret notes are very sharp. The movable bridge is a little tricky to work with, too. I found that I just had to find a spot where there was a fairly decent blend of string height, string angle, and scale for the intonation. Generally, the switches and pickups seem to work pretty well, although the switches get just a little flaky when the temperature and humidity conditions change rapidly. I find that the strings that come with it work ok, but that flat wound strings really improve it, making it useful for rock and jazz playing. I did have to do some minor work on the frets, since two of them were set a little lower than the rest, but just a little adjustment eliminated fret buzz. It's no pre-CBS Fender, to be sure, but for less than $400, it looks good, sounds good, and is lightweight and easy to play.

With authentic details inspired by the original, the Hofner Icon Series Vintage Bass makes the legendary violin bass available to the rest of us. Don't get the idea that this a just a 'nowhere man' look-alike. This quality instrument features a real spruce top and beautiful flamed maple back and sides. The semi-hollow body and set neck will give you the warm, round tone you expect from the violin bass. Rosewood fretboard, sunburst finish.
