Sean Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Do you mean Sterling by MusicMan? The MusicMan Sterling is a premium bass. Here we go again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddy Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Aren't the Musicman Sterlings actually slightly dearer than a Stingray? The Sterling Ray series are another story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMT3781 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 i'll answer your question with another... whether its a stirling model, or a stirling stingray, are either really budget basses ? Dunno about BP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are subs,olps,sterlingrays,ray34's and a whole raft of other stuff but stick to the pre EB and the standard EB 4 or 5 and you cant go wrong IMO.

stingrayPete1977 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) Erm right, Slo neck is like a Jazz neck rather than the standard oft called cricket bat (which I love). Sub is weird and splits the camp the most,Its US made but not too well all the time and with cheaper bits, The finish is matt with a chequer plate pick guard with sharp edges,matt black neck? And when available new was way over priced and more than a perfect hardly used EBMM probably mainly sold on finance which the private sellers of secondhand EBMM's did not offer (harsh but fair). OLP is good if you get a good one and IMO start with one for £150 ish maybe less if you like it upgrade to a second hand EBMM out of the forsale section on this very site! Sterling and Ray 34 I dont think even fat poppa or whatever we call him knows anymore! But downgrade the sterling from a MIM because its made in Indonesia sort of up from an OLP and down from a SUB both of which are axed versions.
