• Fast and Light

  
  As reviewed by Pat B. on 5/17/2010

  Was shopping for a mexican Fender Precision but once I started playing this bass I knew it was for me! Waited a couple of weeks while I hit every music store within and hour drive of either direction of me and still could not find another bass in the same price range that had the low metal growls and crisp quality for lighter stuff. From Metallica to the Beatles this bass covers it all. Neck is slim and fast and great sound when slappin'. I did have to play with the truss rods adjustments to get some buzz out but thats because the yahoos at the store didnt set it up! Great buy! Been playing it for four months now while my Dean Edge and Oscar Schmidt collect dust!

• Sterling by Musicman SB-14 Bass

  
  As reviewed by Tom " Rooster " McCue on 8/3/2009

  After owning several Musicman basses, I had to try their new Sterling by Musicman SB-14 bass. This light weight bass gives you the chest pounding tones you expect from other high price basses. The neck is like " butter " providing the player with cramp free hours of play. Once again Musicman gives bang to the buck with this new series so I give them five stars.....hit it!

• Lots Of Bang For The Buck

  
  As reviewed by Anthony Sailer on 10/24/2009

  Ok, I just picked up this bass today from the local Guitar Center, please understand I had my sights set on a differnt bass when I walked in the door (Ibanez SR500). I was looking for a 4 string bass with active electronics that was lightweight and comfortable to play, my main 5 string is the Ibanez SR505 and I love it so I was pretty set on getting the 4 string version. Being open minded I checked out all the basses that where in the price range I wanted (under $600). I picked up the Sterling and right away was impressed with the fit and finish of this bass, very nice construction, the fret work was perfect, and the candy apple finish was flawless. Upon plugging it in I was blown away by the sounds that this bass is capable of. A wonderful deep tone that is still very defined and tight with a great punch to the high end that is not tiny at all. The three band eq and pickup selector switch made it easy to dial in the exact sound I wanted. I spent about 30 minutes playing this bass before purchasing it. It got a good workout at rehearsal 1 hour later and the rest of the band was equally impressed. I don't think my Fender Geddy Lee Jazz will be getting as much stage time now. I really can't imagine a better bass for the money.
