TPJ Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 That is a great bass, real solid sound across the board. Enjoy Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 It's crazy to think the only alternative to the sub 5 is the classic five for well over two grand new, massive bargain! Quote

[/quote] I know what you mean but you haven't been able buy a new US Sub since 2006 or so.... Used SR5s seem to be available for around £800, and used Classics for £1000 upwards. Love my white US Sub5 by the way - compares nicely with my SR5 and Bongo and simpler, electronics wise to use. Edited June 14, 2017 by drTStingray Quote
lowhand_mike Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 nice, thats how the classic 5's scratch plate should look not that weird shape they have, definately prefer the look of the sub 5 Quote

ebenezer Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Had one in white, had to change the horrible scratch plate, but a great bass, if a little heavy Quote

This bass is only 8.5lbs, I was really surprised when I picked it up! Edited June 15, 2017 by interpol52 Quote
interpol52 Posted August 11, 2017 Author Posted August 11, 2017 Added a sound clip. Been messing around on garage band. Flat EQ on the bass, flat EQ on the 'Ampeg' amp model. Bit of compression. https://soundcloud.com/julian-gallagher-1/sub-5-flat Quote
TCsBass Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 Sounds really tight and focused. Still on stock strings? Quote

[/quote] Cheers, it sounds great with that Ampeg style setting. The strings are Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 45, 65, 80, 100, 130. They have been on for about 6 weeks, just starting to get past their brightest but sound great for the funk! Edited August 12, 2017 by interpol52 Quote
