Sterling by Music Man Mike Herrera Artist Series Bass: Streamlined Punk Rock Powerhouse Co-Designed for the Stage

The Sterling by Music Man Mike Herrera Artist Series Bass is a high-octane, stage-ready signature instrument developed in close collaboration with the iconic frontman, songwriter, and bassist of MxPx. Stripping away unnecessary complications while elevating structural reliability, this bass reboots the classic StingRay design into a dedicated touring machine. Unlike standard active StingRays, Mike’s signature model operates on a pure passive electronics ecosystem driven by a single high-output H-1 Ceramic Humbucker. This specific layout delivers a raw, punchy, and aggressive tone that slices cleanly through dense live sound mixes with instantaneous transient response. True to Herrera’s exact personal live-performance configuration, the control plate features just one functional master Volume knob alongside two dummy knobs to retain the classic 3-knob aesthetic. Built for continuous road abuse, this instrument is the definitive answer for rock, punk, and pop-punk players seeking straightforward operational workflow and uncompromised tonal authority.

Key Features

• Official Mike Herrera Custom Trim: Features the unique 1 functional Volume and 2 Dummy Knob configuration used live by Mike himself, adorned with a White Pearloid pickguard displaying the classic MxPx “Pokinatcha” graphic, finished in an eye-catching Orange Creamsicle with a matching headstock.
• High-Output H-1 Ceramic Humbucker: Loaded with a single heavy-duty ceramic magnet humbucking pickup that yields a muscular low-end, growling mid-range punch, and snappy top-end click perfect for articulate pick playing.
• Passive Electronics Workflow: Engineered with a bulletproof passive circuit that requires absolutely no 9-volt batteries, eliminating unexpected power failures mid-set and offering reliable plug-and-play operation at every gig.
• Premium Jabon Deck & Hard Maple Neck: Crafted with a lightweight yet resonant Jabon wood body, combined with a rock-solid Hard Maple neck and fingerboard that enhance overall harmonic snap and sustain.
• Rock-Solid 6-Bolt Neck Joint: Utilizes Music Man’s legendary 6-bolt neck attachment design to ensure absolute structural alignment, maximum string-vibration transfer, and zero shifting during high-energy stage performances.
