Musicman Stingray HH or H

@Graham Lindsley - I guess you’re after a four string right? Just noting that on the current 5 string H the switch gets you series, series with filter and parallel with the latter being the “classic” Ray sound.

On the 5HH the first two settings don’t exist FWIW. To be honest, the diff between the 3 is negligible to my ears... I’ve got a 2011 5H and I *slightly* prefer series but the audience don’t care :)

Next year, though, for sure I’m getting me a Special 5HH because of the weight saving over my current Ray. My slapping is terrible on any bass so a dirty great humbucker near the neck won’t be an issue - I have a Fender Dimension HH and I LOVE the dual bucker thing.
Cheers fella. Went for the HH and just tried it out...... unreal

Hi All,

Buying a stingray very soon. Seeing a few HH double pup going for good prices. Tried to read up online the difference between single pup and the HH 2 pup? Anybody tried both on here and know is there much difference?
Ta very much
If you want a stingray, stingrays have one huge bridge-ish humbucker w/ active electronics. If you want something more, get the double.
 
None of this is helping my GAS folks.... I deserve a new HH Ray, right?!

@Graham Lindsley - pics?!
Cheers all for the advice, made the right move. Pics for Moley pal..... shes a beauty
