can you still get sub's

[Mr. Weaver]

i here the sub and sub sterlings are being discontinued. does anyone know the cut off date? and if they have already been discountinued. what are the chances of finding one or the other?

 

[SteveB]

They have been discontinued for several months now.

You can still find some New Old Stock (NOS) in stores though. The chances? I have no idea about the numbers.

 

[jongitarz]

You can't order a SUB now. Your best bet is finding dealers with them in stock, or ebay etc. Great axes.

 

[SteveB]

Here is the message announcing their departure. September 2006.

 

[Caca de Kick]

Just look around, everyone still seems to have em in stock...they're everywhere.

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Too bad you aren't lookin for a SUB5.... we've got two here

 

[Narcosynthesis]

I ordered mine yesterday after a good while spent phoning up all the ebmm dealers in the uk to find one...

There are a couple last ones shipping out apparently, but no new orders, so it's really down to finding somewhere that has some left in stock

With a morning "Tip O' the Hat" to Pete D, Audio Classics still has several in different varieties. We're in Vestal, NY.

Having said that, I'd also like to mention that I've been hanging hwere for awhile now and never mentioned that I was a Music Man dealer. It just didn't seem right to me as I'm a fan first and a dealer second. BUT, as I began to get emails from readers who found out about it I've decided to come out of the closet. I have no intention of becoming a SPAM machine but I guess that it's a good thing for readers here to know that not only is EB listening to what you want---so are their dealers. :^>)

 

[Mr. Weaver]

cool guys thank you. i guess im calling GC this weekend. i really want a sub sterling. but a SR sub will work. i was going to save the cash and get full out sterling. but the more i play my bass. the more i want a MM. 600$ is easyer to get than 1200$

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Good morning Rich, nice to see you finally out and about!

 

[asianjeff]

There are still some SUB 5's out. If I were you I would check the dealer inventory on the MM site and start calling. One suggestion also is that make sure you get the active pickups instead of the passive pickup version of the SUB5s.

 

[Baird]

I bought a used SUB4 a few months ago for well under $500 as an experiment.

Anyways, my Fender P and J basses have new owners thanks to eBay and the SUB blows away any Fender I have played.

My Bongo5 is even better.

[Mr. Weaver]

yeah active pickups are a must. im really wanting a sub sterling. but i will take a SUB SR4. and order a diffrent pickgaurd.

 

[bovinehost]

Minor point - the pickups aren't active, the preamp is.

Other than that, I fully recommend buying a SUB from either Pete or Rich.

(Wasn't Pete and Rich the name of a Tubes album?)
