This being the bass he used at the Stubbs shows in Austin is pretty nuts. Sounded fantastic live, couldnt have told you the difference from the mainline Joe Dart!

[@rjptpt]

Exactly why I didn’t think twice about ordering

[@LorenzoDeLeon]

Ordering what ? Joe Dart himself ? Cause you know the tone is in the fingers right ?

[@rjptpt]

@@LorenzoDeLeon ordering the bass. No, I don’t know a lot about how much of tone is technique vs gear. I’m a horn player and have been wanting to learn bass for years. I decided to make the leap after the Stubbs shows. I’ve been shopping for instruments for the last month and found the information overload daunting. Since I know how good this can sound, I’ll be able to focus on technique as I learn.

[@LorenzoDeLeon]

@@rjptpt Great decision ! Bass is quite easy to learn and reach a decent level where you can play with others - as long as you can keep the beat and play in tune :-) Now I would not recommend this bass as a first instrument. Sure it is basic and you won’t get overwhelmed by technical issues but I’d go with a jazz bass clone - a cheap Squier or a Sire - for the same price you’ll have more tone options and I think as a newcomer experimenting to find your sound is a good thing. That said if you have a crush for the Joe Dart toy well go for it !

[@rjptpt]

@@LorenzoDeLeon thanks! I’ll take that advice & get one of those while waiting for my shipment in November. Hopefully I’ll have some level of proficiency when the Dart arrives.

[@MbfLproductions]

Thank you for shopping here your business is appreciated

[@VeitLehmann]

This is huge!! First there was the Sterling SB14 which comes close to the original in specs, but it's almost impossible to get. And if you get it, it's much more expensive still. Now this! 🤤 The one I currently use to come close to your sound is a an Aria Pro II RSB Standard. A downsized P bass with a slim neck and the pickup almost in the StingRay location, equipped with flats.

[@anthonydalto1545]

Really cool! Game changer for the industry. Affordable quality products should be the standard, not the exception. Hope it sells well. Congrats!!

[@FrazerSmithsChannel]

Shipping to the UK is more than £200. Not so affordable now. Thanks Sterling.

[@wildesage4172]

I found out today, and ordered one immediately. Great-looking bass, great vibes, at a killer price. As a rule, I don't even buy new instruments at MSRP! But I think this is a great buy, and more importantly than that, I want Sterling & Music Man to know that I *really* like and support direct sales, and for a desirable instrument at a highly competitive price such as this, I will put my money where my mouth is.

[@GamerSquiddy]

i would kill for a left handed version of this!! such a beauty, hopefully lefty will come one day!!

Long stort cut short: I've ordered the bass and untill november I'll pretend it'll get shipped for free. :D

[@BD-zg7is]

wdym? are they not good quality?

[@jubuttib]

@@BD-zg7is Oh they're perfectly good quality, but like Squier for Fender, LTD for ESP and other such brands, they're mass produced in the far east, and very rarely cost even a thousand dollars. The most expensive Sterling by Music Man guitar I can find right now for sale is their top of the line version of the John Petrucci Majesty signature model for 1.5k€ on Thomann, by comparison the cheapest made in the USA Music Man version of the same guitar is 4.5k€. So yeah, it's certainly not that they're not good, Joe played this cheaper model on stage and it sounded great, but these brandings just are cheaper and made in the far east. Though being made in the far east isn't a bad thing either, the CNC machine doesn't care where the factory it's inside of is located, and it doesn't care about the nationality of the person pressing the GO button either... =)
