MM Sub 4 - worth my time?

I believe they use the exact same electronics for the S.U.B instruments.

I believe you named all of the differences though between the standards and the S.U.Bs.

From what I heard, they do sound rather close to the original.

Others will chime in though.

 

they do sound rather close. Stingray has a 3 band EQ, SUB has a 2 band; Stingray has a more expensive paintjob, and SUBs are poplar & rosewood only.



They sound very similiar. Great bass, well worth the money IMO.

 

My daughter's man is an accomplished bassist, and one of his is a SUB, and he's fine with it.

Most basses today are better than those who play them. This is not a cut, just a complement to how much quality you can get from non-top of the line gear.

I have two MIM and an L1500. I will never be a better bassist than any of these will support, and I do OK.

[ edit ]

If you are starting out, I urge to buy used. Investigate the market, then try to pay no more than 66% of new-discount price. This will insure you don't lose your investment when you trade up. Trading up is inevitable.

 

I started out on a SUB Sterling, It was fine, keep in mind it's MM's low end basses. You'll get a GAS attack for something else. I did.

 

i actually just return my sub01 today and bought a "real" stingray today from GC.. and they sound totally different. the real stingray has alot more attack and punch great low end, amazing high head... i just couldnt get the sound i wanted out of a the sub so i dont know, but a real stingray is well worth the extra money, at least i think so.

 

sorry if this is a bit dumb but what does S.U.B stand for?
...be gentle
