The HS models are the most interesting of the EBMMs.

On the Bongo, the humcancelling is accomplished by a small round coil in the control cavity. Best sounding S pickup IMO.

On the Stingray, the humcancelling coil is under the pickguard between the S and H pickups.

On the Sterling, the S pickup is actually a stacked humbucker so the lower coil is the humcanceller.

Okay, so I'm reading your signature, and I don't see anything that could be an H/S bass. :confused: Update!!!

Maybe it should just read:

Blue StingRays. Many of them. Actually, all that were ever built. ;)



And yes, the HS has a phantom coil between the H and the S.

Tnx for the info!

I was just wondering about that! :rolleyes:

So, in mine Strl 5 HS phantom coil supose to be inside S pickup cover, under the regular magnet/coil? Right?

That's pretty neat imo. does it look like an inductor or something? have you had a chance to look at the big al wiring?

If you decide to let go of an early 90's 2-band EQ please shoot me a note.

I noticed that you pulled the auction for trans teal/rosewood 3-band. ;)

It's a little round black thing about the size of a nickel, with a little trimpot on the top. You can use the pot to perfectly dial in the humcancelling - very cool idea.

I did poke around in the Big Al and I can't see any extra coils or anything. The pickup covers are pretty tall though.

The single coils on the Big Al are stacked neodymium. So you could say it's a triple humbucker. :D
