"Best bass I've ever had my hands on!!!"

Just got this from my wife last week for my birthday and father's day coming up. I got the smoked chrome version. This bass looks cool online but in person it is unbelievable how nice this thing looks. The fit and finish are perfect, and the case it comes with is very nice. After about 20 minutes of just looking at this bass in disbelief when first getting it, because of how cool this thing looks I decide to go ahead and plug it up and see what it sounded like. I was surprised at what a difference in tone this thing had compared to my 2021 MIM fender jazz deluxe 5. The Stingray was not just an upgrade from my Fender Jazz, it was a huge leap. I have been very impressed with the Stingray.
