Mr H Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I can't help with this poll at all - a Stingray of any configuration remains a dream to me. I do know, however, what would win [url="http://uk.news.yahoo.com/38/20110308/twl-tiger-kills-lion-in-turkish-zoo-6ae0455.html"]in a fight between a lion and a tiger[/url]. Quote

loudandclear Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 I have owned H (pre and post EB) , HS and HH in my opinion HH is best, most versatile, and with the EQ set flat has a great core tone - no issues with the G string disapearing and sounds great in a band mix Quote

I haven't - so I'd be disqualified :-) Quote

OK, the back-PUP ray tone is awesome, but I needed versatile, and the HH does 'ray, Precision, and a whole lot more. Quote
Jabba The Hutt Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 My HS is awesome.... fantastic versatility :-) Quote
EskimoBassist Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 If I were to get one, I think it would be the H - I just love that classic Stingray H sound. The HH would probably crossover too much with my G&L with its dual humbuckers, and despite the HS arguably being the most flexible, I think it looks dog ugly with that configuration. Quote
Gust0o Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 I voted H, as it's the only one I've played substantively - and very much enjoy it. I think I'd quite like an HS in future. My Lakland 44-02 has the same set-up, and it would be interesting to see what Ernie Ball could make of it - probably with loads more growl, which can only be a good thing Quote
Chris Horton Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 I have a SR5 H & a SR5 H with piezo. I have had gas for a SR5 HS for ages now,. Cosmetically my vote goes to the HS I will let you know what I prefer when I get my grubby little mitts on a HS and compare it to my other stingray's Quote
Prime_BASS Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 After a year I still vote for single H I stand by the fact that if you know yor stuff it'll do everything just as well (iuf not better) than multi pickuped basses. Quote
MarshallBTB Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Bit of a thread resurrection but I own a Ray 5 HS, and for pretty much a year I've have it set on the single H, just cuts through a band mix so well. Doing some noodling at home, middle position ( H+S ) with the mid all the way up, wow!! Probably end up flipping the switch back to the bridge in a loud gig setting but still, HS for me purely for the options. Quote
