So I have a EBMM SR 5HH and SR 4H...

...and I really like the Stingray 4H.

Just about all I ever do is slap and the 5HH doesnt seem to work so well with the neck positioned pickup getting in the way.

So I was thinking the other day about trying to trade it for a Bongo 4H or a Sterling 4H. I would rather not have a second Stingray 4H and I would prefer at this point to stick with musicman.

Then I got another idea.

What about removing the neck pickup and pickguard and getting a pickguard made for the Stingray 5H and installing it thus covering the hole from the pickup? I am not sure how I will like the 5 strings for slap as I am really likeing the 4 string as of now, but I might as well try it as long as I already have the bass.

Ideas??

Thanks

To test it out, you could take the foam and springs and such from under the neck pickup, get some short screws, and bolt the pickup down to the level of the pickguard. Solo the bridge pickup and see how you dig it.

The pickup placement is slightly different on the HH set up than it is on the single H set up so your idea won't work unless you modify the position of the rear pick up. If your looking for a Sterling 4 H, I have one and would possible consider a trade. What SR 5 do you have?

I would definetly be interested in a Sterling 4H trade.
