3-band Active Preamp Bass, with Dual Pickups in Transparent Orange Finish

The MusicMan Sterling bass, instantly recognisable by it's 3+1 tuning machine arrangement. The Sterling's shape is similar to the StingRay, but shorter and narrower, while the neck remains basically the same (34" scale, 11" radius). With it's active electronics you can shape any tone that you want, whether your playing slap/funk or hard rock, you will even find the tone you are looking for if your playing style is purely jazz based. This model features 1 x Humbucking pickup, and 1 x Single-coil pickup, a 3-band active preamp, and a 5-way lever pickup selector for massive sound permutations.
