Ernie Ball Sterling Bass Review

History: I've been playing bass for a little over three years now. I play mostly ska, a little bit of punk, and every so often some funk. Currently I'm in a street punk band that's just in the beginnings.

Purchase: Ever since I saw the Sterling Bass being used in a local ska band, I knew I had to have one. The way it's low tones were belted out so clearly, and how the punch of the highs almost knocked me out. The looks pulled me in too. Very modern, but with a certain special something. I now own a limited edition Sterling Bass I acquired online for a low $850.

Pros: What is there not to like? Everything from the looks, to the crystal clear sound it produces, to the extremely smooth flowing feel of the neck, this bass is awesome. It has a three-way selector switch and three tone knobs to provide endless sound possibilities for all music styles. It feels solid in your hands. The body is also a bit smaller than most basses, making it very convenient to play. It's a good one to jump around with.



Cons: In all honestly, I truly love every aspect of this bass. If I were to play the biggest show in the world, and have a choice of any bass I pleased, the Sterling would nail the spot. Anyone contemplating buying a new bass, chuck in a bit extra cash for a Sterling. You will not be disappointed.

Sterling Bass Quality: Made in the good ole U.S. of A. Everything on this bass is super solid. The neck construction is beautiful. Everything is perfectly straight and feels flawless. Electronics are wonderful as well as all other aspects down to the tuning pegs.

Ernie Ball Summary: If the supreme being(whom ever that may be in your case) were to choose a bass guitar, the almighty one would request a solid gold Sterling, hands down.
