SBMM Sterling SB-14

Sign in to disble this ad
Just got this beauty a few weeks ago from MasterBass. Thread here:

Musicman Sterling SB-14, black w/gold pickguard $450

Borrowed from Denny's thread:


A just about mint black and gold Sterling SB14 by Musicman 4-stringer. Matching headstock. NO nick, dings, scratches or boogers...just a few light scuffs that will probably polish out.

Very thin great playing Jazz-size (under 1.5" nut) neck, even a bit thinner than a Fender Jazz Bass. Thunderous pickups!! Tonally...I honestly see NO DIFFERENCE between this and my MM USA Sterling family reserve.

Comes with new Sterling gig bag and adjusting tools.

From the website:

34" Scale
Basswood Body
Maple neck w/ Spoke Wheel Truss Rod Adjustment
Painted Matching Headstock
Rosewood Fingerboard w/ 22 frets
Nut Width: 38mm (1.49")
5 Bolt Music Man Designed Neck Joint
Music Man Designed Humbucking P.U. w/ 3rd hidden Phantom coil
3 way switch for Series/Parallel combinations
Music Man Designed 3 band Active Preamp
Music Man Designed Chrome Bridge w/ Stainless Steel Saddles
Chrome Open Gear Heavy Duty Tuners
MSRP $899.99 includes MM524 gig bag, left hand model available

I have since taken the thumb rest off but it will come with the bass if you'd like to reinstall. The bass does sound and play amazing. The action is low and she's a speed demon! Weighed in at 9 lb. 1 oz on my postal scale.

I'm asking $425 shipped to the US. It will ship in a nice box with the original and well-padded gig bag. Here are a few pics....again lifted from Denny:

Just bought it on a whim to use as a backup. Not playing it much and gigs are infrequent so I'm just lightening the load.

It does sound amazing and is very solid. The humbucker in series screams.
