I'm really gassing for a double bucker SR. Does the neck pup get in the way of slapping?

nope... for me there's plenty of room on HH Ray. The HH Sterling takes some adjustment but the HH Ray is pretty roomy (for me). YMMV.

the bass sounds soooo good that even if it takes a tiny bit of adjustment its easily worth it :)

Act now!

No problem at all. I'm gassing too. It sounds so damn good and has a lot of versatility. The mid control is also very useful. On many basses, the mid control doesn't do much or what it does doesn't sound good. Not so with the SR4 HH.

oh man... get one, you wont regret it! honestly, i like a lot of basses but these bad boys just blow me away

I know. I know. Played one just last night at GC. The neck is perfect. Balance perfect. Fit and finish perfect. Then you plug it in. I really like the neck pickup soloed with some mids cut. Great fingerstyle sound. I've played an HH SR5 and while I like those, the preamp and pickups in the SR4 sound a little warmer and more musical to my ears. (I think the preamp is different and the pickups use different magnets.) Fortunately, it was blue and I don't like blue basses. ;) But I think the black one with black headstock that appears at the top of the page in the rotating ads is perfect. I'm thinking it would be a nice christmas present.

I have slapped many people during our gigs and the neck pup was no hinderance whatsoever. (sorry, I had to get it out. :D ).

On a serious note, an accomplished funk buddy of mine has played my bass (much better than I, might I add...) and he never stops going on about how comfortable it is. He loves it.
