maxoges Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I'm going to get a 5 string musicman style pickup for a Stingray 5 clone. Has anyone tried a Status Graphite MM pickup? http://www.status-graphite.com/status/frames/index_home.html I already have 2 Stingray 5s so I'm open to a different sound.

Kiwi Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Status pickups...I don't know. If it were my choice, I'd be talking to someone like Aaron Armstrong about a custom build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Somewhere around the £80-100 range I expect. Drop him a line though and see what he says. I don't know what The status pickup sells for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Nordstrand have a range of Stingray 5 replacements, including one with a 16.5mm spacing for OLP MM3 (just in case your Stingray 5 clone is one of these). Bassdirect stock them, and Delano too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxoges Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 It's a custom built body and an original neck. Hipshot 17.5 mm bridge. Seymour Duncan "musicman" 3 band preamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxoges Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 It's going to be white. The orignal neck has a maple finger board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I've got EMG ones in my Ray. I really like them. Clear and punchy, not quite as clanky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witterth Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 How about some of those Pickups Martin Sims has started making? They sound great on the demo, just a suggestion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcgiver69 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I got one of the Status MM pups in my Aria GT5 and if you are looking for the traditional MM sound well look somewhere else, these are made with bars instead of pole pieces and this means less magnetic pull. This means the strings can move more freely thus providing a fuller sound. I like mine a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
