Best Stingray for mids..?

[jlepre]

you might have a point there...I actually sold my ST5's because they were a little to harsh for my ears. I like old school bass. Maybe that's why I got Group IV Flats on my SR5...

IMHO, the best 'Ray for mids might actually a Sterling...

Or an old ceramic SR5 that is a "Sterling within a Stingray body" as Golem says)

If your SR5 is older than 2008 but younger than
1990, it IS a Sterling. The Sterling-5 predates
the Sterling-4, but it was called an SR5 ;-)

OTH, from the chronology of your post, maybe
your SR5 is rather new, 2008 or younger ?

Golem, my Bongo 5 is HSp...........

Close but not quite. It [dual PU option + piezos] IS available on an HH Bongo.

Notice taken !

The HSp or HHp Bongo is now considered the "Best STINGRAY for mids"

The Sterling has mids in excess. It also has the series/parallel/single coil switching that the single H stingray does not. When I want mids, I put it in that single coil mode and bump the mid knob up a few.

The single H Sterling is pretty damn good on mids. Is the single coil setting the centre position of the switch?

Yeah. Bridge position - parallel coils, mid - single coil, neck - series. My ceramic SR5 has plenty of mids. Even in parallel position mode that I like the most.
