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!:)

yeap

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

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.
