Manufacturer's Description

Introducing the Sterling bass — a passive powerhouse. With an alnico V parallel humbucker delivering vintage-style warmth and response, this bass ensures a balanced sound across genres. 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 can pack quite 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. All new for 2024, this limited-edition bass is available in a Natural finish with a Swamp Ash body.
