Having owned a Sire V7 and own a USA Stingray 5HH, the Stingray is far easier to dial in different pickups with the 5 way switch including single coil sounds. Sire has 7 confusing knobs. On a live gig I could dial in different sounds instantly. With Sire I had to take time between songs and fiddle with knobs which rest of band hated.
@klaymeister5 күн бұрын
@daviddesmond2143 not a problem for me . When I play an active bass, the knobs aren't for song to song changes but for overall little tweaks if something sounds off
monomyth doesn't have the thru output like the tidal wave though

The HZ pickups have different wiring on the back. 5 pins instead of 3. Also the volume knob may be 500k rather than the 25k they use with active. So short version is no. But if you buy the new pickups they usually come with all the wires and knobs you need.

I have both the AP4 and AP5 and love em. There is no pickup issue on either, must be this particular shot or angle. When I looked around for the 5, this was virtually all I could find that was both a 5 string P and 19mm spacing. The Schecter is very tight at 17mm and is 35 scale for a weildier bass, along with a rep for heavy basses. I've seen both MSRP's at $1300, and can get them on the right deal around $900 or so depending. Another awesome option in this price range is the Reverend Mercalli 5. Killer bass too.
