Constructed with a compact, ultra-lightweight alder body, active three-band equalizer built directly into the body and a doubled ceramic magnet humbucker/single pickup layout, the Ernie Ball Music Man Sterling 4 HS Bass Guitar is a blast from the past tailor-made for today's playing. Retaining the big, bold character of Music Man basses with a more tempered character that allows for a wider degree of application, this instrument goes from a smooth Eagles-esque low-end to a crunchy attack bordering on YTimK playing with a few easy tonal adjustments.
