re: sr5 hs limited edition

can anyone in the ernieball customer service tell me if the first position in the pickup switch is in series or parallel? coils 1&2 near the bridge?

 

[prickly_pete]

I didn't email CS, but I am certain it is parallel.

check out BP's video clips in the stickys under Sterling Ball videos

i'm sorry. i didnt know it was holiday there. hope though you can enlighten me with my question. thanks so much

I am 100% certain that it is parallel.

 

[cliff78]

thanks so much. i thought it was series because of the review in the bassplayer magazine

The pickups in HH and HS SR5's and Sterlings are in series on coils 1 and 2, the pickups in Stinrays 4 HH and HS are in paralell, so:

Stingray 4 -------- Paralell
Stingray 5 -------- Series
Sterling ----------- Series

This is only on coils 1 and 2 of two pickups basses.

 

[Dr Stankface]

I don't beleive so. Because if I have both of my SR5s (H, HH) in the first position, they sound VERY similar. I beleive it was Jon from EB (I THINK, not sure) said that they are only wired in parallel.

 

[Rano Bass]

I guess we'll have to wait and hear the facts from someone on the inside.

I don't know how to link to it, but at the sticky named "New 2 PU Bass Switch Functions" check post #66, someone named "drewbixcubed" from Ernie Ball customer service aparently said that.

whatever happened to those COOL animated gif's that showed the different positions ?? those were hilarious.

After comparing the two (SR4 HH and SR5HH), I'd bet the farm that the SR5 HH is wired series on the humbucker coils and the SR4 HH is parallel. To me, it sounded quite obvious (at least in the bridge 'bucker mode). I'd also wager that the HS's are the same on the humbucker wiring.
