MM Sterling Question

[JOHNNY CHINGAS]

So I went to my local GC for thier usual Once in a Lifetime End Of Year Sale. I happened to play a Sterling. I loved the neck on it. Real easy to play. LOVED the feel of the finish on the neck. Loved they way it fit in my hand.

My question is: Are all the necks on Sterlings identical, or is there different profiles and such. Basically what Im asking is, if I buy one off ebay will the neck be the same as the one in the store.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Those necks (possibly the best production neck ever) are manufactured on CNC machines.

Luckily, one Sterling neck is just like any other Sterling neck.

Zat help?

I just picked up a Sterling HH on ebay, and I absolutely love the neck. It really reminds me of the Fender "Geddy Lee" jazz bass neck. Found this one on the bay today, really cool color: Invalid Link Removed

Happy Hunting!

I hate the Geddy Lee neck (too flat for me) but I love the MM necks.

Music Mans are the one bass that seem to have almost no variation between one and another when I play them (quality, sound). At least, modern ones, the older models (70s, 80s) had quite a bit of variation until they hit on whatever formula it is they use now.

I've owned several Sterlings ranging from 2000 to 2005 & all basically felt the same.

Same here. Each Sterling I touch feels like home.

Both of mine feel the same. Snag a birds eye one if you find one!

Thanks for all the responses. It really helps.


Yeah, I really dig the Birdseye too,
