This is a great bass, and also a collector's item. It was released to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Ernie Ball taking over Musicman, and they used the absolutely best materials. It has a gorgeous quinted maple top in Venetian Red and some really nice appointments such as compensated nut, ceramic humbucker, Active 4 band EQ and Passive mode with Passive Tone Control as well as Series-Paralle selector. Lots of great sounds here, from classic Stingray to many different ones.
