    Sterling bass SUB Series.

    Got me an Sterling SUB a few months ago... It worked and sounded great.... For a while.... Recently, for some reason, every time I play the E string I get a horrible distortion coming out of it, ESPECIALLY when I crank up the bass and treble knobs on it (just the way I like it) even with a brand...

    Can I get a Stingray Sound 5 with a Sterling S.U.B?

    Hi everyone, First of all I apologize for my English, I'm using Google Translator, I'm Brazilian! I bought a Sterling S.U.B 5 string, but I didn't like the sound when I compared it to a Stingray 5! I know there are several differences, I was wondering if you guys have any EBMM 3-band DIY circuit...

    Sterling stingray or Yamaha bb234?

    Looking to pick up a good mid ranged priced bass for doing some local gigs. Anyone have experience with these 2? Pros? Cons? Prices are about the same. Just not sure what one would be a better buy.

    NBD sterling SUB

    So I picked this guy up locally on the old Facebook marketplace today for what I would consider to be a very decent price. I am completely impressed with this instrument. This thing punches well above its weight and could hang with many American made basses. I can't believe how far "cheap"...

    Sterling SUB, Ray34, Stingray and Classic Stingray sounds

    Hey folks. So I found this video recently. I never have seen a comparison between the 4. I know it is just one riff but it let you hear the basic differences between all of them. That Ray has some big balls, the classic Stingray is fabulous, the newer Stingray I´d say is between those two, still...
