Music Man Sterling In Trans Red

About This Product

Named afer Ernie's son, the Sterling is a close relation to the classic Stingray bass. The body is a lighter and smaller version of the famous Stingray shape, while the neck is slightly thinner and features 22 frets.

It features an active 3-band pre-amp and a Musicman humbucker with phantom coil technology to eliminate hum. Combined with a 3-way pickup switch, there is a superb range of tones this bass can kick out!
