I was looking at my three basses last night, and contemplating what mods I could do to them because I'm thinking I'm gonna keep them all but want them to all be the top of their games.

I looked at my SUB and thought.. "well this one doesn't need anything"

so is anyone modding these? what are you doing to them?

I saw the one in this club that had the contours added, and I've seen the sanded necks.. anything else?

The only thing I've done to mine was to change my SUB5's pup wiring from parallel to series - and I'll *probably* add a series/parallel switch to my SUB Sterling...

I played a sub w active electronics easily the best sounding & playing slab I've touched in a while. Sounded amd felt better than $2k big sisters.
Came super close to pulling the trigger (only $289) but it was too heavy that was the only drawback.

A USA SUB for 289??? Plus I heard the SUBs are lighter than the majority of MM/Stingrays.

Nothing. Leaving it alone. If it's not broke, don't fix it.

Maintain the integrity of the instrument.

Irreversibly modding gear is almost always a mistake.

that was pretty much the conclusion I came to. was just testing the waters seeing what everyone else had done.

I feel very confident in saying I will not be getting rid of this instrument unless out of dire necessity.

My sub is 9.5 on the old bathroom scale

Clearly he was playing an import SUB. That price like store labeling eh?

Good bass, but not the SUBs we're talking about in this thread.

Nope. Wait, does changing the pickguard count?

I've considered the sanding/contouring thing, but just can't seem to bring myself to change the awesomeness of my SUB.

 

[DwaynieAD]

pick guard on mine is black. i should probably post a pic some day.

the lack of contours doesn't bother me at all.

Hey, if anyone is on the lookout for a SUB. *Edit- thought it was a five, but mis-counted*. I found this one on the GC used site for $499. Looks pretty clean from the photo, and not a horrible price by any means.

that's a 4 banger homie

AFAIK- All of the 5'ers were active. Yea, it's not bad price at all. GC-used, typically has some pretty good bargains (better than ebay, and the like), as well a good return policy.

Oh crap, my bad . I have 6 fingers on Monday. Fixed post, carry on.

Very cool! For some reason, I had thought that the 5 was only available in active. I'd guess that I hadn't seen one so I made the assumption. I'd guess, that they're kind of like the kind of rare fretless versions, that I've only seen a very few of (online only, never in person). To further on the more rare models, I was very tempted to pick up a US-SUB sterling that was posted here in the classifieds a while back.

I'm assuming that the only way to tell is the lack of battery compartment?
