Comments about Music Man Sterling 5 Electric Bass:
As a longtime 4-string pro bass player who has often railed against the gratuitous overuse of 5 string bass in rock & pop, I have found myself playing more heavy rock recently & have somewhat begrudgingly spent the past few years researching 5 string basses. Above all, I have always found most 5 strings to have uncomfortably wide necks at the nut. When I saw the specs for the Sterling 5, I noticed that the width at the nut is the SAME as my 4 string Music Man. Thus, for me, the transition from 4 to 5 has been FAR EASIER than I would have anticipated, since the neck seems so familiar. As an ardent fan of Music Man basses (I own a StingRay 4 & Sterling 4), I can assure you that the versatility, craftsmanship, tone, playability & endurance that I have come to expect from this brand is fully represented in this model. It arrived perfectly set up, flawless & ready to jam! The closer string spacing & low action seem to encourage faster playing styles & I find myself coming up with all sorts of new riffs on this bass before I actually get down to working. Although I prefer the larger, heavier body of the StingRay, the smaller body of the Sterling will surely be better on my back!
