I'm waffling again. I am getting a green bass, and have already told Jack that it will be an SR5 HH. However, Mr. Tom Karter has me wondering about my decision, because in hindsight, he's right about me not keeping fivers for long.

If memory serves, the HH Sterlings and HH SR5's that I've played have very comparable tones. Would you folks agree? Aren't the pickups and preamps quite similar?

I adore the way both basses play, but I am quite the four-string guy.

Help me!

Im 99.9% sure they are exactly the same.
