Stingray Pickups

Recommended Posts

I'm toying with the idea of swapping the stock pickup in my Stingray for an aftermarket one. One reason's just to experiment, the other's that I really don't like the pole pieces sticking up on the stock one. Would much prefer a "flat" soapbar type of pickup.

I'd also be wanting to heat things up soundwise rather than cool them down. Also, my Ray suffers from the "quiet G-string" syndrome - and fairly low output. I'd be hoping a new p/u would remedy that to some extent too.

Anyone got opinions about what I should get please?

i personally think that the stock stingray pickup is better than any of the drop ins iv heard

the only none exposed pole piece pickup i can think of is the bart, which apparantly dont have the stingray growl

I read that the quiet G string is down to the preamp rather than pickup... don't expect me to back this up with a link though :).

EDIT: Oh go on then... [url="http://www.ernieball.com/forums/music-man-basses/2844-quiet-g-string.html"]http://www.ernieball.com/forums/music-man-...t-g-string.html[/url] Looks like rubbish then !

EMG do a MM pickup with non-exposed pole pieces. No idea what it sounds like though.
