Cheers fella. Went for the HH and just tried it out...... unreal@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.
I've got an HH, but the majority of the time I just play the back humbucker. Gets a pretty convincing Jazz Bass sound in position 2, though. Nice to have for session work
If you want a stingray, stingrays have one huge bridge-ish humbucker w/ active electronics. If you want something more, get the double.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
Beefy. Kind of P Bass-ish, but not as thick. Sounds pretty similar to a p bass I have equipped with a DiMarzio Split P, actually.I plan on getting a HH next month. How does position 4 sound?
Cheers all for the advice, made the right move. Pics for Moley pal..... shes a beautyNone of this is helping my GAS folks.... I deserve a new HH Ray, right?!
@Graham Lindsley - pics?!
