Hello people how are we all?. After deciding to start with a cheaper SUB Bass its now time to move up with the big boys. I like the feel of the SUB neck and as im going either stingray or sterling for the next purchase which neck would be similiar in size and feel to the SUB Bass? The paint on the back is probably similar to the bongo but im looking at the stingray or sterling.

After playing the SUB bass for a few hours sitting down the lack of contour on the body is not so pleasant as well.

So which would you think would be closest the SUB Bass, the stingray or the sterling?

The other bass i use is a JV 1982 Jap P Bass. Great bass but having the Choice to change is a great variation. All opinions welcome. (Eden head and labsystems cabs)

Thanks

Stingray.

Although there is a SUB Sterling, but I'm guessing you're not talking about that one.

If you like the neck profile on the SUB, you'll dig the Stingray.

C'mon Jack. I never tire of hearing the virtues of the Bongo. Give it a go.

While you're at it, could you throw in some hints on when my single H is gonna be licked?
 
yep its the sub model not the sterling sub. Stingray it is then.

Cheers

Bongo bongo how long do the batteries last in those? They do look interesting and have an amazing amount of variety with the pickups and configurations.
