hi guys,

there are 3 position pickup switching in the SR5 right?

can you tell me the details and tone of each toggle position in your playing and experience? :)

thanks

I use the parallell position for a deep, mellowish sound. If I wanna cut through a bit more, I switch to series. For a more nasal sound, I use the single-coil position.

1. (towards neck) = P-Bass like tone.
2. (center) = J-Bass like tone.
3. (towards bridge) = Stingray tone.

I use single coil quite a bit now (middle) for a bit more edge. It's the closest to a jazz bass but fuller.
Series (neck) is something I use with care because it's so full and prominent.
I never used parallel in the past but am experimenting with it now. Definitely more trebly! I guess that's how stock SR4s are wired...
