Sterling by Music Man Stingray Short Scale: The 100-Point Review

Here it is! As soon as I saw the Sterling by Music Man Stingray Short Scale (a word order I can never seem to get right), I kind of knew I would eventually own one. tl;dr I LIKE IT. But I really think you should watch the entire 40-minute video instead of just reading that sentence. Side note: This video would not have happened this weekend, except we had a blizzard. The National Weather Service didn't beat around the bush with the usual terms like "winter storm" or "blizzard-like conditions." We legit had an official Blizzard Warning. So my sister-in-law from Chicago postponed her visit, my big band canceled its monthly rehearsal, and I stayed inside and made this video instead!
