Nobody likes Stingray Series tone?

[Music_for_life]

It seems everyone choose Parallel instead of Series.
I use both: Most of the time in Series for a more agressive tone (I use the bass to play Progressive rock songs) I think it gets me closer to the tone Myung uses with his Bongo, more modern..
I use Parallel mode for tapping and solos, for tapping I like a bit of the piezo option.
For other Styles I tend to use my Fender Roscoe Beck Jazz bass more.

When I play my SR5, I almost exclusively use series. Parallel sounds too scooped in the mids to my ears, whereas series brings the mids up front, which I accentuate by boosting the mids a bit more. Parallel has a nice slap tone, but I don't slap much.

Series was my default for a long time. Parallel is the classic "Stingray sound," but they are like apples and oranges to me. The past few months I even experimented with the dummy coil!

I only have one choice on my Ray.

I use all 3 pup switching options on my Ray 5. I can't remember which is series/parallel
But I like em all. Mid pos-single coil's good too.:thumbup:
