Sweet! Follow up question- where can I get a replacement at a reasonable low cost. Thinking something simple. Either white or tortoise style but suggestions welcome. The subject is a black EBMM Sub.
Thanks!

Talkbass classifieds, where else?
I'll sell you my diamond plate in the pictures if you want it....
Oh beautiful without the controls plate! Same color as my sub fretless 5 but mines of the more common 2 band classic stingray style.
So the 4th control. .. is that a rotary switch? Or ...
I got a black carbon fibre one but I forgot where,I,ll have a look on computer cause I bought it online.

The knob you're talking about is a midrange control - like on the current 'rays and Sterlings, as vdgg's new bass is a SUB Sterling, like mine only fretless(and a cooler color, IMO):
I agree!!!

Folks,
Don't flame, please. This is an honest question: As my profile suggests, I'm Canadian and a local retailer sells the SUB 5 String for $330, and the Sterling Ray5 for $710. Can anyone advise why am I paying another $400 for a Sterling? I realize the pecking order is MusicMan StingRay, Sterling (by Musicman) and S.U.B. Sterling in terms of price and I assume MusicMan StingRays are made in the U.S.
Update: Did some research and discovered the answer. Thx.

I think that all SUB Sterlings from that era did not have a control plate, also as georgestrings said it has a 3-band EQ (which is one of the best i ever heard in my opinion) and Pau Ferro fingerboard.
I'm very proud of this bass and also very lucky as it is a very rare SUB.
The only question i have is about the nut...does anyone know where i can find a new one? (in Europe)

Yea I know the specs of usa sub sterlings.... but was commenting on how good the design looks withouta control plate compared to by 2 band stingray subs. That sterling is actually quite pretty. .. not something we typically say about usa subs.
Yup - I paid this off today, to go along with the SUB5 and SUB Sterling I already own:
I should have it before next weekend...

I don't like you
One day I will too own a black SUB Sterling.
Edit: reading from my phone, I did not realise that one was a Stingray type of SUB.
What colour is your Sterling?
I had a SUB5, but I'm not much of a five string player and eventually I let it go.
I just have two SUBs and a Stingray.
My white SUB is a 2003 with the pickup in series, I love how punchy it gets

Hahaha!!! - I'll be posting pics of all three. once the new one arrives... My SUB Sterling is blue - there are a couple of pics of it a few posts up on this page... I'm definitely keeping my SUB5 - it compared very well to a BFR SR5 HH I used to have - it's that good... I also have an EBMM Sterling 5 HS that I really like... I wired both my SUBs in series - a definite improvement, IMO - I really dig your white SUB, BTW...
