Big Popp's dual H sr4's

[Dargin]

Here are two prototype sr4's we made. Which one do you prefer?

 

[NorM]

#2

 

[Colin]

The sunburst

 

[barkatozz]

The Sunburst---no control plate.

 

[WillPlay4Food]

#2 for sure. I can see that in my living room right now...

[edit]
I like the way #2 looks without the metal plate under the knobs.

 

[Psychicpet]

I like #2 the best as well but then there wouldn't be a distinction between the Sterling and the Ray, I think the Ray looks good with control plate and switch

 

[MingusBASS]

I think I actually prefer #1. I'm not a huge fan of just black but that looks freak'n classy.

#1 for me too! NIICCEE!
I'm tellin my wife on you guys . .
before I get in trouble

 

[philthygeezer]

3-way switches?

 

[MingusBASS]

5 way!

[Psychicpet]

my other 2-bits would be to move the selector a bit towards the bridge and split the difference between the p/g and the control plate but not sure what that would do to the routering pattern for the cavity.

 

[philthygeezer]

5 way!

Just read the other thread. These are going to be great!

 

[Psycho Ward]

I prefer BOTH! (...in left handed , of course...)

 

[Moondog]

I see plenty of room for a third pup!

 

[philthygeezer]

Preference? I like no control plate better on the burst, but it also makes it look like a chubby Sterling. The control plate may be an identifier for Stingrays for me. I still like it absent better though.

 

[midopa]

#1!

 

[phatduckk]

#2 looks awesome ... its got that "ya im gonna f'in kill you with my tone" look

wow! go dudley n crew!

I would pick the black bass over the sunburst because it looks so tough, especially with the matching headstock. The 2 pup SR4 is such an amazing idea, though, that I would love to play either one.

When are we gonna see a 3 pup???

 

[MingusBASS]

If you get a piezo....it will be a 3 pickup model.

Hmmmmmmmm. I like 'em both. Is this a trick question?

Classic black. Very nice, but maybe that white PG is maybe too white? Especially with it being such a contrasting shape to the body?

The burst is georgeous. How 'bout no PG and a control plate?

BTW, what's with the pick-ups? The shells seem to have different tabs on them, like a bongo? Just a new shell?

Is the bridge pick-up the same as the 1 puppers?

Are SR4 pups still different than SR5 & Sterling?

Are bridge & neck pick-ups different than each other?

Inquiring minds want to know.
