Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

Armed with a set of Dimarzio Humbuckers made custom for Ernie Ball, the Axis Super Sport is wonderfully responsive and versatile. Based on the EBMM Axis model but swapping the Floyd Rose for a much simpler vintage-style tremolo, the Super Sport boasts all the clarity and sustain of the original while being just a bit more lightweight and approachable!

SP Luthier Notes: Full setup

From Ernie Ball / Music Man Guitars

CALIFORNIA HERITAGE SINCE 1974

Originally founded in 1974, Music Man built its name leading an industry revolution, introducing active electronics on its production instruments. As part of the team during the 70’s, Sterling Ball played an important role in the design and development of the iconic StingRay basses.

Officially purchasing the company in 1984, Sterling, joined later by his sons Scott and Brian, has built a team of dedicated professionals who collectively share a common goal: building the highest level of hand-crafted instruments available. 

Shipping to more than 135 countries from the Central Coast of California, the brand continues to expand its reach worldwide based on the strict quality standards, innovative design and the finest craftsmanship it is known for.
