Sterling by Music Man S.U.B. SB4 Bass Guitar

[TransistorBassMan]

Does anyone know if this is going to be available in the UK? (Apologies if this has been covered before)

It's not the same as the S.U.B Ray4

Apparently the SB4 is a Guitar Center/Musicians Friend exclusive model in the USA/Canada. That's a pity.....

I've seen them on eBay from a uk store.

Ignore me, different to the one you are after

Just tried a couple of the Sterling Rays in Gloucester.
2-band with maple board priced at £749 in Remus - liked sound a lot but action could have become tiring on long gig.
3-band with rosewood (or similar) board priced at £599 in Soundhouse - didn't sound as growly to me but different amp used anyway.
Definitely preferred the 2-band but at that price would look for used US model.

Given that the Sub Ray has a smaller Sterling-like, all this seems to offer different is a slightly smaller body. I like the SB14 with its 3-band EQ and the series/parallel/single-coil switching - very versatile.

I played one at [url="http://www.fretmusic.co.uk/Sterling-Sub-Bass/"]http://www.fretmusic.co.uk/Sterling-Sub-Bass/[/url] a couple of days ago.

Seemed OK, but nothing special, tonally. Seemed to play nice, feel-wise though. I'm certainly not a great fan of musicmans anyway, so I'm probably not the best reviewer.
