Unavailable for purchase
This Sterling 5 MN 5-String Bass, with its Pacific Blue Burst finish, is a prime example of Music Man's dedication to producing incredible instruments that are built to stand the test of time.
Big Sound, In A Smaller, More Ergonomic Design
The Music Man Sterling was originally released in the early 1990s to offer bass players the same kind of sound produced by the popular StingRay5, but in a more compact format.
Not to be confused with the budget friendly Sterling by Music Man lineup, the Music Man Sterling is an American-made high-quality bass in its own right.
Music Man Sterling 5 MN 5-String Bass, Pacific Blue Burst Highlights
- Premium-quality 5-string Electric Bass from Music Man
- Sterling model (not to be confused with the budget-friendly Sterling by Music Man lineup)
- Slimline Ash body, with a rare Pacific Blue Burst finish
- Super-sleek Maple neck, with a "C" profile shape, and 22-fret Maple fingerboard
- Powerful ceramic humbucker with a unique switching system and 3-band Active EQ
- Includes Hardshell Case
Lightweight Construction
Despite resembling the more famous StingRay5 at first glance, the Music Man Sterling 5 is lighter, relatively smaller, has a slimmer neck, and a different electronics system - utilising ceramic magnet pickups instead of alnico.
The end result is a dynamic, high-performance bass, with an incredible tone that can cut through pretty much any mix with ease.
Versatile Electronics
Inspired by the electronics system on the hugely-popular StingRay5, the Music Man Sterling 5 Bass features a single Ceramic humbucker and a 3-way coil selector switch.
This switch is designed to offer three different coil setup modes: parallel, single coil, and series - giving you plenty of tonal options at your disposal.
In addition to this, the humbucker hides a little secret stashed out of sight: a "phantom coil". This extra coil's sole purpose is to eliminate any unwanted hum when Single Coil mode is active.
