#F78461【GIB Yokohama】","description":"Musicman emerged as Leo Fender's second brand and was loved by bassists worldwide.\u003cbr\u003eAfter being acquired by Ernie Ball, this has remained the case and is still widely accepted by modern bassists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Stingray is the brand's most popular classic model.\u003cbr\u003eIt is arguably one of the most popular basses in the world, along with Fender's Jazz Bass and Precision Bass.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis model is literally a special edition of the Stingray.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first thing to note is that it is thoroughly lightweight.\u003cbr\u003eYou may have such an image as the brand has had many relatively heavy products, but this model is different.\u003cbr\u003eIn fact, this particular model is ultra-light at 3.84 kg.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe neck is made of roasted maple.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRoasted, thermo wood is a new wood popularised by Sago New Material Guitars.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt was originally developed using Finnish technology as a wood for making saunas.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTreatment at high temperatures volatilises the water and oil inside the wood, making it highly stable even at high temperatures and humidity.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn terms of sound, it gives the impression of a richer, more mature sound.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn recent years, the brand has redesigned its pickups and pre-amplifiers.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe pickups are made of neodymium magnets.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis gives them a powerful, wide-range sound.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt retains the classic Stingray tone, but is more suited to modern ensembles.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe pre-amplifier is now driven by 18V instead of the 9V previously used.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis gives more headroom and aims for a clearer tone.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe sound is transformable thanks to the 3-band EQ, and can range from a slap-pleasing crunchy sound to warm vintage tones.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen a single manufacturer handles everything from pickups to preamps like this, the manufacturer's aims are strongly reflected in the sound, which can be good or bad, and the result is something very unique.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI personally have a good impression of this renewal and feel that it is very refined and complete.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe pegs feature a redesigned, lightweight open-gear type.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt goes without saying that the balance is very good when you hold it, but in terms of sound, I think the change is in a positive direction to utilise the more powerful electronics.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePersonally, I loved the vintage 3-knob Stingrays, and to be honest, I didn't think the current version could compare to them in a negative way.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHowever, in considering this renewed Stingray Special, I have found that this thinking is erroneous.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf you are looking for a Stingray in the same way, but only if it is a vintage or classic, this is an ambitious product that you should definitely try.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe frets are roughly 70% remaining.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe truss rod is a little stiff, but we have confirmed that it works at least 90°.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe neck is in good condition.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe body and paintwork are generally clean, but there is a 2 mm ding near the joint plate.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe electrical system is in good condition.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNo obvious modifications were found.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eControls: volume, treble,

data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe D'addario EXL, which is trusted by professional musicians, is used in the setup.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCharacterised by a powerful attack and rich overtones, the performance is truly worthy of being called a standard.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese high-quality strings maximise the performance and character of the instrument, so please enjoy them as well.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe GIB craftsmen will adjust
