Sterling by MM?

[eSGEe]

SO -- I really never paid much attention to this company till a recent trip to GC and I was there to try bass amps--
I picked UP a SUB 4 Sterling by Music Man Stingray -- and well
I now OWN this one


So I am now -- "interested" in the guitars by this Sterling BY Music Man Co.-----

ANYONE got one????
tried one?
beat a mugger to death with one?

I believe Sterling is EBMM's SE Asia brand?
Nothing wrong with those guitars at all.
Think about Epiphone or PRS SE.
Perfectly fine guitars there too.

Oh Im FLOORED by the bass---
I played other USA Stingrays-- for (under 250.00) this thing is AMAZING -- the TONE is deep rich and lush-- the neck is a wonder-- its solid holds tune and goes BOOM --

which made me curious about the 6 string things this Co. is putting out there

I have played several and found them to be very sweet guitars, well made and a nice finish and setup.

so the same as my findings with the 4 bangers----

The JP ones seem very nice---- I mean look at it!

 

[Tony M.]

That is really nice looking.

 

[eSGEe]

AGREED!

Im curious about the location of that switch though --- its in a WORSE place than the Fender Strat Volume KNOB!

Not a Sterling, but a Musicman I was lusting for a while back...

 

[Tony M.]

I have 2 EBMM guitars.
One of them is very good.
The other one is spectacular.

Glad you found a nice bass you like at a great price. I've never tried anything by this brand...

I've noticed over the years that, for me, while I cannot find a decent guitar at the lower prices ranges, low end basses I've had (a 70s style HB, a Jaguar Squire) were perfectly playable as they came without modifications. Maybe that has just been luck of the draw with such a small sample range.

 

[eSGEe]

No I would agree Grump---
Basses tend to be better at cheaper leveles--- or something --- hadnt thought of it -- but---I have very low $$ basses that play and sound amazing---
50.00 Squire "P" bass-- 132.00 Epiphone Thunderbird---

now the equivalents -- what a Strat and a Firebrid in the 6 string category your going to pay CONSIDERABLY more (and I have) for versions that dont "float my boat" as well as the low end $ basses....

IT is a funny thing



THIS -- Tony M-- this is friggin AMAZINGLY gorgeous
