I hope this question hasn't been addressed already, though I have not seen it in any of the threads about the new HS/HH basses. Basically, the single-pickup Sterling and StingRay5 basses allow switching between series, parallel, and single-coil mode. I've really taken to the series mode on my StingRay5. I've also read that, at least as a general assumption, the humbuckers in the new HS/HH basses will be wired in parallel, as the StingRay pickup is traditionally wired. Will the new HS/HH basses be able to be modified to run in a series wiring (or be switchable series/parallel) when running both coils of a humbucker? I'm sure the new HS/HH basses sound great, but I am curious as I really do love the series setting on my SR5. Thanks,

-Nick
