Hi guys,

I played a SUB4 today at GC, and it was my favorite out of about 10 different basses. What's the deal with these?

I'm sure reading the previous post will bring you up to speed. Then go back and get that SUB!

If my pictures didn't help, I'll say this.

If another one pops up locally, I'm grabbing that one, too.

Yep I had SUB fever I bought a black, white SUB 4 then a graphite SUB 5. I still would like a black SUB 5 but decided enough was enough..lol

Yeah, now that I've completed the SUB bass trifecta, I believe my SUB buying days are done(although I've considered grabbing one of the SUB guitars, hahaha!!!)

So is this for the imports, or USA? Is there much of a difference?

Oops! Is there a club for imports? That's the one I fell in love with.

I just picked up a white SUB 4 to go with my charcoal SUB 5. Its the same white SUB that's been passed around a few times here - I think waterboy owned it for a while... Let's see how long it stays in the stable. I do love the classy white, though.

I was eying that one down but just don't have the spare cash right now. I really prefer the white to my teal.

Yeah, if you picked it up from aldog1330, it's the one I used to have. Great bass!

I picked this one up after it had been hanging in a shop for 5 yrs. The setup was atrocious, which helped me get it for about $ 370 (current exchange rate). A couple of hours in my workshop and she is a beauty. My previous go to bass was a Warwick Rockbass $$.

I did not like the industial aluminium look, so I made a plexi pickguard under which I can put whatever picture I want...

[Atlanta Dave]

Cool idea for the pick guard too! Congrats on the new SUB addition.

I didn't care for it when I 1st started getting into SUBs, but I have to say that nearly every time I play them out, I get positive comments on those alum diamond plate PGs - so, I left 'em on... In fact, I ordered one for my SUB Sterling yesterday, and so that all 3 of my SUBs will have them...

I do think you did a nice job in making your PG, though...

[dkelley]

Yea I've had comments about how tough, stealth, and "metal" my black sub looks with the black pg or swapped with my other sub to have a metal pg.

They are just sexy tough looking basses with tone to match and very comfortable fender like playability.

Sure, why not? It's not like a pickguard change is really going to mitigate the visual insult of some of those colors. The pickguard changes I've seen on the wine-vomit purple ones actually made them look even uglier, something I would not have even guessed was hypothetically possible, so I've left mine as-is.

Since the hand accident ended any possibility of playing out again, I don't have to worry about presentation in any case.

Doing nothing is usually the easiest decision anyway.

 

[dkelley]

I've met several folks now who, like me, think the wine vomit subs like my fretless are beautiful.

Just saying

Wine vomit for the win

 

[odarellmc]

I think a history lesson on how the name wine vomit purple came to be..lol.
