Description
Introducing the Sterling bass….reintroducing actually. The Sterling has been around for quite a while but Music Man stopped offering it a few years ago….until now! The new SB-14 is a passive powerhouse. It’s the perfect choice for those who love the retro look and feel of the original Ernie Ball Music Man Sterling model while favoring the reliability and performance of a passive bass. Don’t let the simplicity fool you though, this 4-string packs a versatile punch, delivering unmistakable Music Man tones but with a super fast playable neck and a smaller body size for improved ergonomics.
Perfect for straightforward performance, this passive bass is equipped with a single ceramic humbucker and 1 tone / 1 volume knob, delivering a classic yet powerful tone.
The Sterling, modeled after the original Ernie Ball Music Man model, is beloved for its slightly smaller body and neck profile, offering a big sound in a comfortable package. All new for 2024, this limited-edition bass is available in a Natural finish with a Swamp Ash body.
