pickup selectors

[johans]

hi

on SR5

3-way lever pickup selector (position 1 is closest to neck)
1 - both coils, series mode
2 - single coil
3 - both coils, parallel mode

what does series and parallel do to the tone?

one 2 - single coil, does that mean 1 pickup? or 2 pickups?

thanks

Interesting. No wonder I like position 3 best of all for most playing!

2 questions now =)
1. which is the one call Phantom Coil? i mean which switch does that?

2. i like the 3 tone, but it sound kindy bright to my liking, when you use the third selector (rightmost) how's your eq on the bass??

thanks

I have a sterling .. and it's about the same I think, meaning the SR5 is like a Sterling 5er in some ways and GOD I love the 3rd lvl ! i should have goten a StingRay ! .. right after a SR5

 

[johans]

so
how's everyone EQ settings on SR5 when you use the third position switch?

i think the middle possition (2) uses the phantom coil, the phantom coil is a single coil pickup underneith the humbucker..i learned this the hard way haha

 

[Jean-Frédéric]

Finnally some Explanation! Thx dude !

 

[shaver]

haha no prob...i use the 3rd switch too, and i usualy just have all my eq settings on 10, but it realy depends how your eq is set on your amp.

I created a wicked sound with my 3lvl switch and Graph. EQ on my amp .. I just love it ! sucks cause when I go jam in a local with and the amps are there .. My homie sound ... and the amp I had the other was a b*** even the beauty of the SR like sound was not cool ...
