walshy Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Howdy all! Picked this up on a trade with @Jackemmings and it’s absolutely brilliant. Only problem is during its well played and hard life the front pick up has become a bit worn. So, anyone know where I could source a replacement or somewhere that could 3D print me a new one? Pic attached of the problemo Ta Quote

Pic attached of the problemo Ta I'm reasonably sure those pick up covers are the same as each other and the same as the current Stingray Classic (black version) - if you email EBMM Customer Services they may be able to supply a new one. However you need to note it's the early Sabre neck pick up with exposed pole pieces as opposed to the more usual covered version. 1 Quote

They also had issues with the neck pick up pulling the strings - I thought they were Stingray spec pick ups. Gav's site may help and if not he'd be sure to know. http://www.musicmanbass.global/ Nice bass btw - look great in sunburst Edited January 16, 2020 by drTStingray Quote

GisserD Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Printed another. Right way up. Worked better. More consistent finnish on the visual side. Less processing required. 2 Quote
