The SB14 Blue Pearl is a seriously fun bass. That humbucker pickup gives you a really aggressive, modern tone, but it's still versatile enough for funk or blues. It’s a great choice for players wanting a Music Man feel without the premium-priced tag, and it’s surprisingly well-built for the price.

Frequently Asked Questions
The SB14's humbucker gives it a thicker, more aggressive low-end and less fundamental 'thump' than a P-Bass, leaning towards a more modern, rock-oriented sound.
The frets are slightly rounded, offering a comfortable playing experience without being overly sculpted.
The neck has a 'C' shape profile with a 43mm nut width; it's generally comfortable for most hand sizes, but larger hands might find it a bit snug.
