3-coil alnico magnet Music Man bass pickup (SMB-4A 3 coil, SMB-5A 3 coil) that’s a direct replacement for 4 or 5-string Music Man basses with a 3-coil pickup and a 3-way blade switch.
Details The strong, clear lows and a precise high end from these pickups can make your MM sing. Now you can have the same vintage vibe as the 2-coil design, and with more frequency response. Using your existing preamp, we offer you more tonal range and the MM midrange bite without being harsh. This 3-coil alnico magnet pickup is designed to replace any Music Man 3-coil pickup (Stingray or Sterling models). It gives you three tonal settings that are accessed via your instruments 3-way blade switch series, parallel, and split. All three settings are hum-cancelling, and your stock preamp is gain compensated so that all three settings have the same output level. NOTE this pickup is designed for use with the stock Music Man pre-amp and selector switch intended for a 3-coil system. Will not work with our STC-3M3 or -3M4 preamps. Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA, our 3-coil alnico Music Man replacement pickup uses oversized alnico 5 rod magnets, Forbon flatwork, 4-conductor leadwire, and is vacuum wax potted for squeal free operation.
