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.

Each bass is made to order, with the “crop year” written on the back of the headstock to mark this special release. Deluxe gig bag included.

Note: Natural wood will have variations in color and grain—no two pieces are exactly alike.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

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

A blank canvas, the Dart 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.
