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.

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.You will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright

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.

I have a 2002 EBMM SR4H that I put the SD70s alnico pickup in. It’s wired with a seperate volume for each coil, and then a master tone. The fourth pot is just a dummy, but I bought 4 of them same so I have a spare mounted on the bass; should one ever fail. kind of like a jazz bass sound when you drop out one of the coils, but still super aggressive. I also have a 1999 and 2019 SR4, so I was excited about making one passive and slightly different sound. They all rip.

Yeah I usually dial my treble control all the way down and pick near the neck. I think I will get a thumb rest for it too while I'm at it, I play up there so muchYou will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright
