Frequently Asked Questions
The SMB-4D has a more aggressive, scooped midrange compared to the Sterling, offering a tighter, more modern tone with a bit more bite.
The asymmetrical maple neck offers a comfortable C-shape profile that generally suits a wide range of hand sizes, though it's slightly thicker than some modern basses.
The flush-mount design minimizes string spacing slightly, but intonation adjustments are still easily achievable with the standard bridge mechanism.
