ebenezer Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Just bought a john east preamp and wondered if anybody other than musicman make a control plate that is a perfect fit ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Not that I've seen... and it's a nightmare getting parts from EBMM too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dov65 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Mark, sure East had an option to buy a control plate along with the preamp...could be worth giving him a bell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigguy2017 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 There are some (non-genuine?) ones around... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Control-Plate-for-Stingray-Musicman-style-Bass-Guitar-Chrome/163895885832?hash=item2628f4c008:g:4sQAAOSw3hxdmyuS https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=stingray+bass+controlplate&i=mi&ref=nb_sb_noss very cheap so worth a punt?

Be warned that the holes in most 'Stingray style' control plates on the web don't line up with the genuine MM fitting. The holes in the copies are evenly spaced but the holes in the MM one (particularly on the inner curve of the banana) aren't. DV247 list the genuine MM control plate on their site for £26 but have no stock at the moment. https://www.dv247.com/en_GB/GBP/Music-Man-StingRay-Control-Plate-Chrome-The-Banana-/art-GIT0008768-000 Edited January 15, 2020 by ikay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJE Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Contact Strings and Things the UK distributor, I got new pickup covers from them without too much bother. I had to wait a while as they shipped them with a big order of instruments from the states but I wasn’t in a rush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
