Sub bass

What exactly is a sub bass ?

We're not clear what you're referring to by sub bass. If you clarify where you heard or read sub bass, it would help us to answer your question.

Sub could mean a few things...

There's a MusicMan S.U.B., sort of a budget model Stingray.

There's a Kala SUB, which is their import line of their Solidbody U-Basses.

Sub Contra are notes much lower than traditional bass guitar tuning. Look up Jauqo III-X's work and instruments.
 
I'm looking for a bass that will give off bass that you can feel instead of hear, I have a 7 string tuner to B,E,A,D,G,C,F I first heard of sub bass from yves carbonne but he rocks 9-11 strings, I am wondering if he has a low F# to get that real low end that you can feel.
 
I hear the Ampeg 410hlf and 610hlf cabinets can do pretty low frequencies very well although I am unsure about how good it can sound the frequency of that low low F# though. I thought I would throw those 2 cabinets out there, i'd say some people on here have experience and know about this. I hope you find what you are looking for.
