Nope, I don't; but not saying I won't some day.
Played one at the Dallas show, it was nice, nothing against them at all except it didn't jump out and crab me (you know what I mean). The sterling sub I ordered was suppose to be made in 4-6 wks. when my dealer called on the eighth week he was told to call back the middle of July and they might tell him when they would make it. I am old and impatient, not waiting forever or !!!
I was in the back store room of my dealer and noticed this beautiful, Hamer hanging on the wall. Long story short it reached out and crabbed me, so as stated previously love at first sight, feel and hear. It is mine!!

As for the SUB being too heavy for me, my thumb is the one of the heaviest basses I have ver used, and I'm fine with it.I saw INME last night, the bassist was using a MM SR, and it sounded kool, then Nickelback scame on, and Mike was using Lakland and spectors.It was an awesome concert.

I like the SUB, get a good amp and you'll get a good tone, as simple as that

Not quite jumped on, but the Stingray and Sterling have the same bridge. The difference in width is at the nut, the Sterling being 1 1/2" at the nut (same as Fender Jazz and Warwick four strings), with the Stingray being 1 5/8" at the nut (same as Fender Precision and Spectors).

Well how heavy is a Fender Jazz? Cuz my warwick makes a jazz feel light.It might be the added bubinga and different hard, dense, woods, that make it heavy.And trust me, I'm no weerd, I can handle a heavy bass.
Nick2 said:
Bubinga? It must be a different model than the one I thought it was, could you post a photo of it?
As far as I was aware all later bolt-ons are Ovangkol, apart from that limited 2003 ash/maple job. Was yours part of a limited run of bubinga bodied basses, or am I completely mistaken?
Fender Jazzes, like all basses, vary in weight. You can find 6 lb Jazzes and 12 lb jazzes. Is yours a squier?
i didnt mean the bridge i meant the neck
my appologies
and
this is my mentality about the sub and any other bass besides the other high dollar basses (lakland modulous rickenbacker gretsch)
would you rather save up get the middle class bass like sub
then another year down the line wanting a sterling or stingray or bongo
wouldnt you rather just get the better modle and not worry about upgrading
this mentality sold my dad on buying my bass

Mine is a limited edition 2001 bolt on, but you can't find many pics of it on the net, and the only review of it is in german.I know they did a limited edition run for the 30th anniversary of the bass cntre(or somethign or other) but mine doesnt have anything about the bass cantre on its certificate. And my Jazz is no squier! It is a real fender.haahaha squier!

Just wondering... Squiers can tend to be on the light side.

Well warwicks are good but too much "sound of wood" for me. I prefer the ballsy 'pktaw!!!!!!' of the musicmans. As for the SUB, I was thinking of buying one last September but when I tried it I changed my mind. It certainly beats the rest of the basses in this price range(definitely the US Highway 1 Fenders) but it still sound as a 'cheap' bass when compared to its cousin.

wow, the gc limited warwicks, i remember those....
when we were trying to sell them, no one would buy it, people wouldn't even try them. they didn't sound as good as the stock thumbs.
we eventually sold it to some guy for 400 dollars, so he could have a bass to leave at his church..
looked nice though.
