Manufacturer's Description

Sterling

The passive powerhouse is back. With an Alnico V parallel humbucker offering vintage warmth and dynamic responsiveness, this bass delivers a balanced and reliable sound across genres. It’s the ideal choice for those who appreciate the retro look and feel of the original Music Man Sterling model, while favoring the classic charm and playability of a passive bass. Don’t be fooled by its simplicity—this 4-string packs a versatile punch.

PASSIVE ELECTRONICS

Perfect for straightforward performance, this passive bass is equipped with a single alnico V humbucker and 1 tone / 1 volume knob, delivering a classic yet powerful tone.

FAN-FAVORITE DESIGN

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. The Sterling returns for 2025 in a stunning, limited-edition Blue Pearl finish.
