Seymour Duncan SMB-5D Sort

Modern drop-in replacement pickup for 5-string Music Man Sting Ray basses that is punchy and aggressive – like the 90s Ernie Ball Music Man era – and was carefully crafted to maintain low-end clarity while staying true to the MM tone. It can handle a low B (and lower) with the best of them with authority and superior definition. Built with two large ceramic bar magnets and a custom coil wind, this pickup delivers punch and a tight low end, with a powerful, immediate attack making this a great pickup for heavy music styles. The pickup may fit into OLP instruments as well, but check the cover dimensions of the pickup (on this site) against the size of your OLPs pickup slot to be sure. Combine with our Music Man replacement preamp for a complete setup. This pickup is not suitable for use with Music Man basses that have a 3-way blade switch. Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA, this ceramic Music Man replacement pickup uses two large ceramic bar magnets, Forbon flatwork, 4-conductor leadwire, and is vacuum wax potted for squeal free operation.
