Sterling by Music Man SB14 returns...again.

[BassApprentice]

Just spotted that SBMM have brought back the Sterling SB14 in Pearl Blue after discontinuing the Natural finish released last year.

 

Always a bit confusing with SBMM, but a nice passive bass I'm sure.

 

EDIT: Forgot to add about the now seemingly obligatory MM tax - RRP $650 = £825.

That's only an SB14 in name.  Bit cheeky innit....

 Yes true, I'd missed that the older SB14 used to be active. Both recent releases have been passive but with a price increase....Nice 🤨

Ahem, yes, I'm the OG SB14 thankyouverymuch!

Is that real?

Re the pricing its still a couple of hundred cheaper than the natural one we had last year. The colour is more like the original USA Sterling launch colour and looks great and if I was looking for a passive MM there would be a decision to make with this one and the Pete Wentz passive Stingray which looks like being the cheaper of the two

How to further muddy the waters of Musicman/Sterling/By bass identification... give it the same name as a previous model but take away half the electrics.  Genius.

Yep, I don't think they're doing themselves any favours now. It's getting silly.

 

And the knob placement on the new SB14 don't look right to me. Something just doesn't flow there
