Musicman Bass 5 String Replacement Pickup

CERAMIC / D.C. =13K- 

The HBMN‑5 brings the classic Stingray‑style humbucker sound to 5‑string basses, offering the familiar punch and clarity players expect with a more refined, responsive magnetic design. Built around full‑length bar magnets, it captures every bit of string movement across wider 5‑string spacings while exerting far less magnetic pull than many original units. The result is a confident, musical voice that stays clear and consistent no matter how hard you play.

Voiced to deliver output and tone comparable to vintage Stingray pickups, the HBMN‑5 can be run passive without issue, yet still pairs beautifully with a low‑impedance buffer preamp for the most authentic response. The widely spaced coils provide two distinct tonal personalities: in parallel, you get the sharp, percussive snap associated with classic Stingray attack; switch to series and the pickup shifts into a fuller, rounder growl with traditional humbucker weight.

With 4‑conductor wiring, the HBMN‑5 supports series/parallel switching, coil options, and phase configurations, giving a versatile upgrade path for 5‑string instruments. It’s a reliable, musical replacement for anyone looking to bring classic Music Man‑style authority to their bass, with improved consistency and a more responsive magnetic field.
