Review: Amazing change in sound - Put it in my sterling bass and now it sounds like a music man!
Review: Perfect for a Squire Modern Jaguar - Pickguard needed a tiny bit of filing in order to get the pickup to fit. Holes line up perfectly. Installed 1 Bourns 500k pot for volume and 1 Bourns 500k pot (PushPull) for the tone. Wired pickup in Series Humbucker with Single-Coil Option on the P/P. 100% Passive. 2 distinct sounds (Humbucker = StingRay Growl and Single Coil = PBass) Excellent upgrade to any MM style bass - A MUST for the ultra-dark and muted stock pickup on the Squire Jaguar. Highly Recommend. Note: Parallel Humbucking resulted in an unpleasant phasey and harsh sound and that's why I opted for the single coil option. With proper shielding there is little to no hum in Single Coil mode.

## Features

- Vintage Tone Revival - This bass pickup captures the authentic '70s Music Man tone, delivering an extended response at both treble and bass ends of the audio spectrum. This is the tone that changed funk, rock, and slap forever.
- Alnico 5 Magnets - Utilizing oversized alnico 5 rod magnets and unique coil windings, this pickup offers warmth on the bottom and detailed sharpness on the top.
- Potential Configurations - These pickups may fit into OLP instruments as well, but check the dimensions of our pickup against the size of your OLPs pickup slot to be sure. Not for use with Music Man basses that have a 3-way blade switch.
- Complete Upgrade - Combine this pickup with our Music Man replacement preamp for a complete upgrade, enhancing your recording studio experience and bass performance.
- Made in the USA - Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA, this pickup uses Forbon flatwork, 4-conductor leadwire, and is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free operation, a smart addition to your bass collection.
