Single coil tone

[five7]

One of the backup singers i work with was leading today at a venue with a house band. She asked me to come and play and at the last minute I decided to take my sterling 5HS. It has been a closet queen as i usually take my sub 5 in my avatar. Plugged it in straight thru with the house bass players sansamp turned off. Thought for a second about which pickup selection and went for the 2 single coils. Oh my! Cobalts and the singles, cutting thru 8 people on stage. Love that sound, sterlings are the best MM.

Yeah man! I have always loved the sterling and the old SR5 in single coil mode!

Two singles is my favorite settling on my HH Sterling.

The switch on my HH Sterling is permanently parked in the #2 position. That tone is perfect for me.
