Stingray is series?

Yes the MM5.2, I was going for a more vintage spec. The other reason is the stock pickup was uneven on the B string, being louder than the other strings…

I have a Stingray 5 H with an Alnico Pickup from 2012. It has the three way switch, for Parallel, Series + Filter, and Series. Honestly, I don't notice a major difference in sound with the various modes. Maybe it's due to the design or the preamp, but any difference is subtle. There may be a bit more beef and less edge in series mode, and the "series + filter" is supposed to sound kind of single coil like... maybe. I've never been able to get a real answer on what the filter does.

I have the same impression with my '98 Stingray 5H - the switch position differences are audible but subtle. I have a couple other single H basses with single/series/parallel switching and the differences are much bigger, passive not active though so I guess the Stingray preamp is homogenising the positions.
