I've got a Sub4 bass that's just fine, but I'd be interested to hear what you guys have done to yours, seeing as it's a fairly popular and easy to mod instrument.

Yanked the active electronics, wired it like a P-Bass, installed a Seymour Duncan SMB-4a pickup wired in parallel, installed a Hipshot Xtender, and swapped the pickguard for a black one. I love that bass.

I've toyed around with the idea of adding a John East MMSR preamp and maybe a new pickup, but I'm in no hurry to change it.If I only had a dollar for every song I've sung

I replace pickups and other things on a lot of my other guitars and basses. For my Sterling Ray24 Bass, I put some D'Addario EXL190's (40-100) on it, and I'm pretty satisfied. Don't really feel the need to change anything else. Good strings really bring out what a bass is capable of. I had a more expensive Sterling Ray34 with the 3 band EQ, but I didn't like it as much and sold it.

Strings always get replaced. I did play the stock ones for a bit on mine until I got some replacements. Put some EB Slinky’s on it for a few years and recently put some Rotosound Swing 66’s on it. The Rotosounds are much nicer feeling.
