CG, didn't you mean to say "You don't have any sense, do you?".

Ignore the comments about the SUBs "sucking". There good instruments for the money - there are several people here on the forum and over at the pit that have SUBs and are very satisfied with them.

As far as your questions - Sorry I don't know.

CG, didn't you mean to say "You don't have any sense, do you?".

Yes, that's what I meant. I stand corrected... Thanks for setting me straight.

I was just so shocked - I thought I had logged onto TalkBass by accident.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you on this one, CG. They're great instruments for the money!

 

[TSanders]

I agree. American made, good looking and sounding basses for under $700 bucks. Nothing about that sucks.

 

[cgworkman]

Guys... You're right. I'm wrong.

Forgive me?

I just tried a S.U.B Sterling at GC the other day & I think it felt & sounded pretty good. It's not as nice as a "real" one but it's pretty close & for the money it's excellent for the price if you can't afford a standard Sterling.

I doubt he has even played one

No If theyre not in the UK yet why would they be in Belgium yet ??
I hope they never come here though...
Not interested in SUB one bit !

Rock On !!!

Well, they're actually pretty good. Blow anything else at that price right out of the water

Comparing UK retail prices...

Stingray 3 band £1245
SUB 4 active £675

That's not a few bucks more

They're not on the UK distributor's price list yet, but I'm guessing a sub sterling would be around £700 retail and, in a few months time, you should be able to get one for around £600 if you shop around

So, basically you are talking out of your a$$, then.

SUBs are out in the UK. SUB sterlings aren't.

Then why did you open this thread, let alone respond to it?

 

[Evil_Ernie_Ball]

Just like to share my opinion with the "world"
And for that talking out of my ass part well erm ... I get that all the time actualy
I just don't understand why they "invented" the SUB anywayz
Is it for peeple who can't aford a "real" Stingray or Sterling or whatever?
Just buy one second hand then and you have a .. YES ! "real one" as I put it down so nicely

Rock On !!

P.S. : Don't like Squire,OLP,Rockbass,etc... either in case you where wondering...

Is this for real?

They are not in any way comparable to a SUB.

Squiers and OLPs are great for beginners.
SUBs are great for people who would otherwise be looking at a US Fender, etc.

Spot on, E.E.B. Here in the US, you could probably score a nice SUB for around 400-500 off eBay, but don't quote me. Anyway, as I've said, they're awesome basses for an even awesomerer..er price. They sure as heck beat my ESP anyday, eight days a week, y'know?

You can quote me. I just bought a new SUB5 on the bay for $475 with a case. It still has the hang tags from GC and I'm told it still has the plastic on the p/g. It's supposed to be shipped to me today.

...And we don't even need to bring up how much they kick the a$$ of ANY Ibanez on the market in the same price range!
