I have had several of the Sterling By Music Man basses over the years, in all price points. They are always perform beyond their price in my opinion. I have brand new Music Man Stings rays in 4 and 5 string configurations and wanted something similar that I wouldn't mind getting dusty or even dinged up left out in the living room. I ordered this Sub series SBMM and immediately ran over it (true story). Hectic day at work, took the new bass out, still in the box , set it against the truck, got distracted and backed out the head home. I only have a single large dimple somehow. The action and neck are fine. This thing plays very nicely, and sounds like it's Daddy (the real Stingray). It is an amazing bass before you even factor in the price. If you are looking for a great playing and looking bass on the cheap, here you go.If you want a Stingray tone without the Stingray price, here you go. If you don't know what you are looking for in a bass, why not buy this one?
