NBD EBMM flawless 2007 Sterling HH4

[ahbradot]

Unexpected consequence, or surprising benefit of purchasing this…. it’s causing me to sell all my other active basses.

I absolutely love the tone, playability, versatility, fit and finish of this Ernie Ball bass.

Yes, there were cheaper ones out there, but I really wanted an unmolested Ernie Ball.

I’ve never held one of these basses in my hand before purchasing online.

I only went by the knowledge I’ve learned from our fellow TBer’s and videos.

I will cherish this beautiful 2007 Ernie Ball Music Man Sterling HH4 Honey Burst along with my passive 2018 Fender Limited Edition Lightweight Ash American Professional Jazz Bass Sienna Sunburst and passive 1985 Gibson Explorer bass.


Three perfect basses ‘til the end of days……


Thank you fellow TBer’s for all your shared knowledge and expertise!!!!

Wow quite a pair! Looks so good together!

Yea, there's nothing like a EBMM. I recently got a 2006 Stingray and I absolutely love everything about it! Like you said, there were cheaper options (even the newer Stingray Special) but I wanted a natural/maple USA Stingray and it also had to be under 9 lbs. Took a LONG time to find it but I did and I don't regret the $2200 I had to pay.

Yes, I agree with you wholeheartedly. It’s just one of those moments in life where everything is just so satisfying. I’m playing it all the time and I can’t put it down. And for that reason it is worth its weight in gold.
I came in around the exact same amount as you paid. Absolutely no regrets.
But before I had that baby in my hands, I was slightly ambivalent that I may have gone over my head.
Thankfully, it was everything I hoped for, and more pure satisfaction 100%!!!

Yea, these basses went up a lot lately. Just like Real Estate, not the best time to buy haha!

I had a Joe Dart Sterling for a while, I really regret selling it. I sold it to fund the Stingray, which is bittersweet. I love that Sterling body shape and neck! I will pull the trigger on the next nice Classic Sterling that I see.

I modded it to look more like a regular Sterling:

Your matching basses look so good!

Congratulations on your first MusicMan.
That is a real beauty and a sought after discontinued finish.
It might not be your last as they can be quite addictive.

Congrats! US Sterlings are excellent basses.

I own many nice basses, Fenders, Sires, Hofner, Yamaha, SRH , BongoHH, but my USA Sterling 4HH and 5HH are the two that I will always have period! They are tone monsters and with the smaller body they play like a 32" scale.

Congrats on your beautiful Honey Burst Sterling, money well spent and you will never have " buyers remorse " Ha!

Stop it People. Yes, they are the best!!! But... the more we talk about them on TB, the more expensive that they're gonna get...

P.S.
Just wait 'til you git yer mits on a 4HS...

Congrats! My #1 bass since 2002 is my sterling in natural swamp ash with a birdseye maple neck and fingerboard (pictured in my avatar-ha!). I picked up its twin in 2018 in the HS configuration and tort guard. Lotsa love for the sterlings!
