As a proud owner of one of these  ( in my moderate stable of basses , I literally don't pick up any other bass) they are phenomenal , I didn't ever think anything would ever move me away from a jazz width neck ,  I even ceased looking at the classifieds on here , for months on end ...  I have a chocolate burst  with the white scratchplate  ....   and yes you will struggle to find a replacement ..... I tried to find a black replacement but couldn't ..

The pickup in these is a 5 string  width allowing the strings to rest between the poles to tame a lot of the bark ..... ( unless you dial it in on the classic 2 band eq )

I've just paid a substantial deposit on a house otherwise i'd consider this as a backup and sell every other bass I own.

A "novel" idea, never noticed this before

That's what's special about the old smoothie Ray;s  its an original design prototype that was rejected by an admittedly going deaf leo fender .

The blurb  :

"Old Smoothie" StingRay, a faithful reproduction of StingRay prototype #26, designed for Sterling Ball during his time spent testing and developing the original prototypes back in the 70's. Named for its smooth even tone that is reminiscent of the highly sought after vintage Music Man StingRay sound, "Old Smoothie" has been precisely reproduced including the one-of-a-kind custom made 10 pole piece pickup design, body headstock and pickguard shape, 34-inch scale maple neck and fingerboard, low profile narrow frets, hardware, and active electronics.
