    There you can find real LM 4250CN: https://elw-elektronik.com/epages/d0dee231-ab0f-4fe3-b9b2-78e23c1b0b52.mobile/de_DE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/d0dee231-ab0f-4fe3-b9b2-78e23c1b0b52/Products/00092517&Locale=de_DE

    The preamp from Musik Ding is available by batches, worth checking the site from time to time. The TL061 is certainly the closest replacement for the LM4250CN in terms of sound. There's a difference in tone with the tantalum capacitors, it's tighter with less emphasis in the bass region compared to the usual electrolytic ones. I've compared loads of different iterations of this preamp from the epoxy to the last version. On a fretless, I tend to prefer the tantalum version, but with flatwounds on a fretted bass the electrolytic version is just fantastic.

    Pairs

    Where did you get that fretless neck @BassAgent?

    This preamp is an exact copy of the 1978 model: https://www.musikding.de/Classic-Bass-Preamp-Preamp-kit And yes, the price includes everything including the potentiometers, except the battery clip... If you have an LM4250CN chipset and some tantalum capacitors, you can get an exact clone. Here's the one I, of course assembled, and put in my Pueblo Pink Sterling by Music Man Ray4:

    I'll happily receive £20 not to see that show(off).

    Indeed, but as the pickup is wired directly into the preamp, its resistance, inductance and capacitance are turning the whole preamp and pickup couple into a resonant filter, so a pickup wired in series as well as any resistor put in between (pot or blend in case of a second pickup) will interfere mainly with the frequency resonance of the highs by changing their reference point, but also with the bass frequency too. That's why a lot of Stingray clones don't sound right at all.
  7. Hellzero
    Better check if the pickup is wired in series or parallel. Sounds way better in parallel as it's how the preamp (if there's one as some were passive) is designed to work with the pickup. Remember that the preamp is designed like a real resonant filter.

    Your pickup is indeed wired out of phase, so wire it integrally the way Dunable says (not only the red and white) then it should read a high kOhms value and sound the right way.

    Nordstrand MM4.2 pickup (the best Stingray clone)!!! The pickup has a grounding copper foil on the back of the magnets. NO TRADES! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE! Asking price including fully insured shipping with tracking number, to your home, in these European countries (ask for other countries): Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding DOM -TOM), Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom: €125 (£105 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros)!!! Shipping to the UK is of course possible and included in my asking price, but with additional customs charges (VAT + other taxes + courier costs), as the UK is now outside the EEC. Non-smoking environment as usual. Removed from my Music Man Stingray, which is now back to stock, and of course everything is perfectly working! What you see is what you get, except the multimeter! Don't hesitate to ask for more!

    Good luck in finding one available at the moment...

    There's a white Ray34 on Kleinanzeigen @BassAgent , so in Germany, since a few days... https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/sterling-by-music-man-ray-34-bassgitarre/2909144066-74-2226

    Preamp is on hold. 😊
  13. Hellzero
    Want a Pueblo Pink instead @BassAgent ?
  14. Hellzero
    Who? Lobster? 🤪
  15. Hellzero
    Check this one, brand new and in the Netherlands @BassAgent : https://www.instrumentsonline.nl/Webwinkel-Product-292460785/Sterling-by-Musicman-Ray-24-Classic-3tone-sunburst-4-snarige-basgitaar.html
  16. Hellzero
    Bump this instead.
  17. Hellzero
    Wire it as explained below, and everything will work properly:
  18. Hellzero
    If it's this, it's been wired totally out of phase explaining the thin sound: https://dunableguitars.com/pages/pickups
  19. Hellzero
    Yep.
  20. Hellzero
    White and green are connected together and isolated because your pickup is working as a humbucker typically wired in series, but you can wire it in parallel if you want, hence the 4 wires plus earth "plain" wire.
  21. Hellzero
    What's the brand and type of that bridge pickup?
  22. Hellzero
    Nice MoMark in rare white colour @Sparky Mark !

    Just for the fun record, I owned a Korg MS20 that I sold for peanuts, 1500 Belgian Francs IIRC, way back in 1987 at the end of my studies (alongside an awful Maya EB-2). 35 Euros/GBP was a lot of money back then to get drunk... 🤦🤪😂😉
  24. Hellzero
    And sold! 😊
  25. Hellzero
    Ready for the bulldozer Gibson trick! 🤪
