The Sterling by Music Man SB14 electric bass guitar blends vintage-inspired tone with modern craftsmanship in a sleek, player-friendly package. Featuring a soft maple body and a single Alnico V parallel humbucker, this bass is built for warmth, clarity and confidence. Its 34" scale length and 9.5" neck radius offer a smooth, balanced feel, while the rosewood fingerboard and hard maple neck enrich its tonal flavor. A classic 2-knob layout keeps things simple, letting your playing do the talking. Inspired by the original Music Man Sterling model, the SB14 fuses throwback style with fresh performance power.
Alnico V Humbucker for Vintage Warmth and Clarity
Big tone starts here—this humbucker was made to sing. At the heart of the SB14 is its Alnico V parallel humbucker, designed to deliver the tonal warmth and clarity that bassists crave. It produces tight low end, articulate mids and smooth, musical highs, ensuring every note cuts through with precision. The wide dynamic range makes it great for fingerstyle finesse or more aggressive attack. Its vintage-inspired voice adds richness in both stage and studio settings, delivering that full-bodied tone that holds steady across genres.
Soft Maple Body for Comfort and Tonal Balance
Lightweight, lively and easy on the shoulder, the SB14's soft maple body keeps the feel fast and the tone focused. Known for its clear highs and tight lows, this tonewood brings out the best in your playing. The compact, Sterling-style profile hugs close during long sets, while the gloss finish—especially in that shimmering Blue Pearl—adds stage-ready polish. Whether you're tracking basslines or playing live, this body brings comfort and confidence.
Streamlined Passive Controls for Tone You Can Trust
Dialing in your tone should never slow you down. With just two knobs—volume and tone—you get quick access to your sound without the fuss. Roll off highs for smooth, warm lines or keep things crisp with the tone wide open. The passive setup maintains the SB14's natural character, making it a perfect match for the expressive range of the Alnico V pickup. Whether you're jamming or recording, this layout keeps things clean, clear and totally in your control.
Hard Maple Neck and Rosewood Fingerboard for Smooth Playability
Feel the difference under your fingertips—this neck is ready to groove. Crafted from hard maple and secured with a 5-bolt pattern, the SB14's neck delivers rock-solid stability and reliable sustain. The 9.5" radius and 22 frets make it easy to explore the fingerboard, while the rosewood adds tonal warmth and a smooth surface. Open-gear tuners hold pitch with confidence, and the dual-action truss rod lets you fine-tune the feel. From low-end riffs to melodic fills, this neck has you covered.
