About Musicman Stingrays H x HH

[feliperigby]

I have 4 musicmans stingrays...
All in H configuration and 4 strings version (stealth slo, 2012 edition the white one, 30th anniversary and a stealth stingray).

I'm looking for a 5 string musicman or maybe another 4 string.

But in H or HH?

What's the real difference between the H or HH version?

anyone could define it?

Thanks

More tonal possibilities.

 

[feliperigby]

But those tonal possibilities really worth?
Or is only a "cosmetic view", a musicman with 2 pickups?

Because on the sr5 models with H, there a swicht positions like the Sr5 and SR4 HH versions...

 

[jlepre]

The HH has a 5 position, and the H 3 band has a 3 position.

"different" tonal possibilities would be a better way to put it. Sure the 5HH has more possibilities, but the 5H has two possibilities that the HH does not.

 

[feliperigby]

Wich possibilities the 5H has that HH doenst have?

Remember that there is a HS configuration too. And piezo.

The middle position is series with a filter which I think makes it warmer and the neck position is regular series whereas an HH is all parallel.

And the HS, IIRC, is mostly [or all?] series.

As to the piezo, EBMM is almost giving away
the 2nd mag PU [of an HH or HS] compared
to the upcharge for the piezo. I'm a big fan
of piezo, but I don't play in any loud rocky
bands, which would just mask [hide, negate,
obliterate] the tonal difference delivered by
the piezo bridge. Piezo would fit well in such
bands as a Beatles tribute, and be toadally
wasted in a Led Zep tribute [juzz sayn].

Assuming your situation might benefit from
the piezo option, I'll point out that the piezo
plus H is the only SR or Sterling model with
a PU fader/balancer knob rather than just a
fixed-level selector switch.
