I didn't think there was such a thing. I have always wondered how they would sound with split coils, but I don't know if those pickups can support that. I know there is no split-coil setting with the stock wiring. |

There wasn't, until some time in the last few days. This has kinda been my white whale, to the point I considered hacking one together myself from parts. But now I've got all the basses already. Ugh! |

Regarding split coils, this is an older version of the schematic, but I think the 5-way switch still works this way. Is that what you meant by split-coil settings?

I never saw that the burnt amber one was available, but it's the first one I noticed. Unlike the picture, though, the one that Sweetwater is listing has a rosewood board. The black/maple is available, though: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail ... ingerboard This is legitimately killing me right now. |

Either I improve my sound and finally become a StingRay fan, or I don't spend any money. Either way, a long mystery will be solved! If this bass goes out of stock this evening, you will know why. |

Part of me hopes someone will scoop it up! I used to play the righty HH at the GC near my in-laws whenever I would visit. Perfect neck and sounded good to me in every switch position (which is why I've never settled for a single-pickup Stingray). I never, ever thought they would offer a lefty. |

Post subject: | Re: Lefty Stingray HH |
Thanks! It's so nice. Perfect neck, perfect setup. Sounds great in all five switch positions, and super quiet to boot. I can't wait to properly break in these strings and get the zing out of it. ...Then I have to pick another bass to put on the block. |
