Hello talkbass. Yesterday at my local music store they had a sterling by musicman SB14 for 549.99. I was wondering if any of you have anything positive or negative to say about it.

It might take more than 17 minutes to get a response, just be patient! In the meantime, do a search. I'm sure these basses have been discussed numerous times...
Now, the important question for you... Did you like it?
They're good basses, good quality, good sound, and come from a company that's been building basses for a long time.
i played that and a ray 34 back to back and left with the 34. the sb is ok the build quality is fine and the sound is good but it just didnt deliver the stingray tone like the 34 did
The "Bass whisperer" does a review of them on youtube. He's a MM fan through and through so I would trust his opinion on it. I've played them in GC and felt it was a good bass for an overseas copy. I'm saving up for an OLC version though.

Gotcha covered. Check this video out, this is as good as a review gets:
Also, FWIW, I own a Sterling HH and have played the SB14 and the RAY34 and I really like them both and would consider them a worthy substitute for a legitimate 'Ray or Sterling any day.

. When I played it the strings were dead and the battery was dying so it wasn't helping me decide.
