Description
Give your 5-string Stingray a genuine upgrade with this complete electronics swap from Seymour Duncan. The SMB-5DS pairs a ceramic 5-string bass pickup with the STC3M4 preamp, Seymour’s 4-knob Music Man tone circuit, so you get both the pickup and the brains behind it in one system.
- Ceramic pickup delivers a low B that growls with real authority, plus the punch and clarity modern ceramic magnets are known for
- 3-band EQ preamp offers precise tonal control while keeping the classic MM voice intact, just with more range to work with
- Hand-built in Santa Barbara, CA using two large ceramic bar magnets, Forbon flatwork, and 4-conductor leadwire
- Vacuum wax potted to eliminate squeal and microphonic noise
- Includes a black cover
This is a true drop-in replacement for 4-knob, 5-string Music Man Stingray basses. It may also work in OLP instruments, but measure your pickup slot against Seymour Duncan’s pickup dimensions first to confirm fit. Important: this set is not compatible with Music Man basses equipped with a 3-way blade switch.
Beyond the tonal upgrade, players consistently notice improved feel and responsiveness once this system is installed, the kind of difference that makes an aging Stingray feel new again.
