How the StingRay HH should have been

How the StingRay HH should have been

Saw this thread on talkbass which I thought was quite interesting saying how the StingRay HH would be better if the neck pickup was moved closer to the bridge pickup, and I think it’s a pretty good idea.

They said this would instantly solve two of the main issues people have with the HH:
– pickup getting in the way of slapping/popping (especially now with the special having 22 frets)
– neck pickup sounding muddy

It would allow for sounds closer to P and J bass

The poll got 25% votes agreeing which is quite a lot considering how purist most bass players are 🙂

Curious what ernieball forum members think of this?
