The 2025 Crop of the original Joe Dart Artist Series Bass is now ready for harvest. Featuring a soft maple Sterling-shaped body, passive electronics, and a simple volume control, it's plucked right from the funk farm. With the tone dialed in, let your fingers do the rest.

CLEAN LOOK, CLEANER TONE

Designed for straightforward performance, this passive bass features a humbucking bridge pickup and a single toaster knob for volume control. Reliable with a good punch to it, the Dart I is perfect for playing in the (back) pocket.

EFFORTLESS PLAYABILITY

Sporting a vintage-inspired Sterling body with a slightly slimmer neck profile, the Dart delivers a timeless tone in a comfortable package, enhanced by the warmth of the soft maple tonewood body.

CUSTOM ARTIST DESIGN

The Joe Dart Artist Series bass, a collaboration with Vulfpeck’s famed bassist, proves there's power in simplicity. A blank canvas, it embodies the no-frills philosophy of the original Ernie Ball Music Man design—distraction-free and fitted with flatwound strings for the smoothest feel. Built for the joy of playing.
