I for one welcome the "Sterling by Music Man" range in anticipation. It can only be a good thing. Well done

I have a 5string olp I bought cheap as a scratch and dent.I have to say it has one of the nicest necks I have seen on low priced bass.The action is super low with no fret buzz.They were a lot better then other brands in the same price range.

I believe one of the problems was that their QC was also wildly inconsistent. At least that's what I remember being what BP said at some point.

 

[Rano Bass]

What bass models will be available on that line?
I'm interested in one as a backup.

I'd love to see a new licenced product. I had an OLP Benji for a while....then bought the sub-1....then the Axis SS.... My kids aren't allowed to touch the Axis but I've found other "like" copies out there that are a good value for the money. That's not to say that they play anything like the Axis......it's to say that I don't have a problem letting my 8 year old bring it to school for his music class.

Actually, I think it's a good catchy name (how can it not be, lol,lol,lol),

Yes, and that Catchy name is now Federally Trademarked.......

 

[the unrepentant]

It would be cool to see a sterling sterling (that could get confusing)

 

[Beth]

A Sterling Sterling in Sterling Silver... heheheh

I and many others are very excited about the release of the new Sterling line!

and guess what Beth, if you buy a Sterling by MM Sterling model, Sterling Silver here in UK you pay with ..... £ Sterling!! eek!

This is great news!

WE will be debuting the newest member of the Music Man Family at Anaheim NAMM. It is done by the Park Family and is called Sterling by Music Man...(I fought the name but was overruled by Guitar Center and Dargie and the staff)

Perhaps it will allow me to return to the EBMM flock....

Hey man, you are sorely missed around here. You don't have to have one to hang out. Don't be a stranger.

I always find it funny that OLP stands for "officially licensed product." I guess no one could come up with a more creative name.

It was a good name in that the intention was for Davitt and hanser to liscense other brands and have the companies benefit instead of the copycats

 

[Colin]

looking forward to seeing the new brand. to be honest I was wondering if the new budget MM's would end up being made in Coachella in the other part of the EB factory...

 

[MrMusashi]

olp was good, but at the same time bad.. so ill welcome the new addition with open arms

of course i got a few questions, mostly from a retail side of things view..
ill be daring enough to ask them in public in case anybody else care:
will it be distributed by the ernie ball company itself, or will it be like the olp.. someone else taking care of it?
id really love it if the distribution ended up with the regional distributor of the other eb products (eg: strings and things in uk, emnordic in scandinavia and so on.. )
