New Classic Series Sterling 4-String Bass in Tobacco Burst with Rosewood Fingerboard

The Music Man Classic Sterling 4. Just released at the 2010 NAMM show, this fabulous looking bass differs from the famous Stingray as it is lighter and smaller but never the less it still packs a wallop. The new Classic Sterling 4 is incredibly light for a solid wood bodied bass and weighs just over 4 kg, it comes in the 6 classic Music Man colours, with the classic hardened steel string-through Body Bridge, stainless steel saddles and adjustable mute pads. The neck is beautifully machined from select birds eye maple, then coated in the classic Music Man high gloss finish with the original headstock logo, with an option of a Maple or Rosewood fingerboard, and it plays like a dream. The tuning machines are as you would expect on a bass like this, classic Music Man tuners, and the electronics with the original huge humbucker pickup and 2-band EQ give out that classic Music Man sound we all know and love. If you are after the very best in bass sound and looks, then this is the bass for you!
