I just recently ordered a SR5 from a store, and then when i checked the picture of the bass again, i noticed something weird. It is supposed to be a SR5 single humbucker, but it has the switch placement of a HH or HS and the battery placement of a HH or HS. Could this bass be a HH or HS with a hidden pickup or something, or what's the deal? Are they changing the placement of the switch and battery for all SR5's?

You mean like this one?

Yeah, the battery box and switch positions have changed... but I think we can safely bet the farm that there is no hidden pickup under the hood. Well, okay, there is the third phantom coil, but that's been around for a long time.

Looks like it has the new pickup cover shape too. I suppose that makes sense for them to change the SR5s like that, but if they start putting the new covers on single H stingrays and sterlings I will be upset. I like the old shape 100x more. Luckily, I doubt theyd do that. It makes sense for the sr5s, though, since they already had a different pickup shape, might as welll make it easier for themsleves to stop using that shape.
