Space between neck and neck pickup on Stingray 5 HH

[Dellers]

Hey, I'm just wondering if the space between the neck and neck pickup are the same on the 4 and 5-string Stingray's? I could only try the 4 string, and I found the space quite comfortable for slapping. You see I found a really nice 5 HH on ebay, and thought I might buy it

It's the same...

I believe they're both 7/8".

Ok, 7/8" should be more than enough for me to slap like anything I guess this means there will be one more Stingray 5 HH player in the world, being me! My only bass so far is the Fender Marcus Miller sig, it will be great getting a Stingray. In fact, that's my two favorite basses

The HH SR5 is a slap MACHINE! I personally like position 3 and 4 for a really groovy slap tone.

Just ordered a nice new one from ebay, black 5 HH with maple fretboard and white pickguard, to a price maybe 60% of what I would have to pay here in Norway (60% is including Norwegian taxes). 975£ including shipping, great deal. An american on a trip to Norway would probably have to spend 4000$ to get one here
