5 String Humbucker Recommendations

[BassApprentice]

Looking to upgrade the pickup and preamp in my MTD Kingston, but it seems to be an odd size - 50mmx105mm

 

Anyone know of any off the shelf pickups that would fit. Would like to pair it with a Spector Tonepump if that helps. 

 

Thanks!

If it was a non-Bart Kingston bass, the Bartolini MK size is about as close to the stock size as you can get. Another good option would be to route for EMGs and put a TCT pre in there 😉

The Nordstrand MM 5.2 are a straight drop in I believe.
