MM Stingray 62 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Andy where did you get the cream pickup cover? I’m after one to replace the black one on my stingray. I’ve done a search but I can only find white ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve done a search but I can only find white ones. i had to source a used MM unit - took ages to find. musicman won’t sell you one without you sending the original back - the pickups are epoxied into the covers so they’re not interchangeable apparently. My Teal SR5 is a really early 90’s one and doesn’t have the same circuit as the pre dummy coil (94-2004/5) models. so without lots of hellish messing - my dream for the teal one fell short. Anyhow: the red one sorts that issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pickup cover on it is cream so it should look good. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just mean “regular” - needs to be luminous green or something Yes, they do seem to lend themselves to bright colours. It used to be mine once upon a time. I remember it had an incredible B string and I could get a pretty convincing J, P, Gibson EB2, double humbucker and a couple of other tones out of it, before even touching the active/passive (passive with it’s own tone control) or the 4-band EQ. Definitely a one bass to any gig proposition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
