Hi, I have bought a SR5 HH a couple of months ago. At that time I was playing a SUB5 for some years and I'm really content with its sound.
The idea was to buy a SR5 in order to have the SUB5's sound but a better playability and finish.
Now, the SR5 is a really nice instrument, but somehow I like the 2-Bnd-EQ of the SUB5 better. I think the bass EQ of the SUB5 features exactly the deep frequencies that make a bass sound fat without increasing the "boomy" deep mids. Usually I used to play the SUB5 with the bass eq fully turned in and it just sounded great.
Now I realized that the SR5 HH 3-bnd-EQ is kind of different. If I increase the bass EQ too much, it sounds very "boomy", so usually I stay away from the bass eq.
I have a couple of questions:
- which SR5 EQ setting comes close to the SUB5: is it rather the mid EQ in the "0 position" or all mids turned out?
- what are the center frequencies of the SUB5 and SR5 EQ?
- is there a chance to midify the SR5 withe the SUB5 2-bnd-EQ and how could this bee done?
Thanks!

The sound difference described in the analysis is exactly what I am hearing... Now: isn't it possible to have the same bass behaviour like the 2bnd in the 3bnd-eq?
