Ed Friedland Previews the Sterling by Musicman!

#12
That bass did sound awesome. Between this model and the Squiers, you have to wonder if the upline of these models is worth it. I have never gotten the oppurtunity to play a MusicMan in person, but after hearing these clips I would be willing to gamble on the Sterling. It did not sound any different than the more expensive MM Ed played in the other clips he post's. Just my .02

Actually that is not the bass that Ed Friedland played. The bass in your link is the Stingray equivalent which has an ash body. The Sterling has a basswood body and is $560. I think it is stupidly close to an American Sterling which is almost 3x more expensive. There is a real strong possibility that I will get one of these basses.

You and me both. I'm not normally a Ernie Ball bass guy but I'd like to have a 4 string in the arsenal for slapping around on. I like the sound of them. Nice and full.
