Noodle Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 My old bassguitar sucks. So i started to take the better parts of it and use it for a new one i going to build. (pics as soon as i start working on it ;p ) I noticed 2 things: the body was made of triplex or something ugly like that. And the neck was made of maple and the scale palissander so that is very usable for having a MusicMan-style sound. The thing with MM-pickups is that they don't sell them without the guitar and the key to the fat wall of bass that stingray gives is the active pickup with f/a-polepieces. Seymour and Bartolini do MM aftermarket pups but i wonder if they give the same or a better sound.. they are expensive so i want to hear some positive stuff before i get an extra job for them. My uncle had let me play on his Stingray in combination with a large Trace Elliot.. There a few basses that give me the feeling i am getting a Thai massage when i slap the E-string around.. So anybody experienced the replacement pups( or someone to sell his stock MM gear.. ) ? Thx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Mailloux Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Go to: http://p219.ezboard.com/fthedudepitfrm30 This is the dudepit's music man forum, make a search. They've discussed this hundreds of times. The general answer from these guys is that the stock pickup is better. But then again this IS the MM forum so these guys might be a little bit biased Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
