Sterling Joe Dart ii Review+ Demo

Watch The Review+ Demo here

 

With just a month left to get a pre-order in, I thought some of you might find my latest review of the new Sterling by Music Man Joe Dart ii signature model useful.

 

This is in no way sponsored or paid for by Sterling, I was just lucky enough to get hold of a pre-production unit before they're released to the public and so hopefully you find this useful!

Lovely sounding bass, but the only thing I could think about is how much of a nightmare that paint job is and how hard it will be to keep clean and not gloss up 😅

 

Nice review though man!

Thanks mate!

 

Yep, the finish definitely shows up any oily finger marks and is imagine it'll gloss up in key wear areas. As per the review, the finish wasn't the best on an otherwise largely great bass!

Nice demo, congratulations. 👍🏻

That awful bridge still offends my eyes.  For the extra few bucks why can't they put the nicer, smaller Sterling bridge on it (Rhetorical).

 

Sounds nice though....

Haha the bridge is what it is, it's not a deal breaker for me but I definitely get what you mean. I think it's because they're trying to keep it as cheap as possible.
