Musicman Bass Replacement Pickup
CERAMIC / D.C. =13K-
The HBMN‑1 brings the unmistakable character of a classic Stingray‑style humbucker into a refined, modernised design. Built around full‑length bar magnets, it captures every bit of string movement across wide spacings and heavy playing styles, all while exerting far less magnetic pull than many original units. The result is a clear, confident voice with the familiar punch and presence players expect from this iconic layout.
Voiced for output and tone comparable to vintage Stingray pickups, the HBMN‑1 can be run passive with ease, yet still shines when paired with a low‑impedance buffer preamp for the most authentic response. The widely spaced coils offer two distinct personalities: in parallel, you get the sharp, percussive snap associated with classic Stingray attack; switch to series and the pickup delivers a fuller, rounder growl reminiscent of traditional humbucker warmth.
Designed for builders and modders alike, the HBMN‑1 includes 4‑conductor wiring for series/parallel switching, coil options, and phase configurations. It’s a dependable, musical upgrade for anyone looking to bring classic Music Man‑style authority to their instrument, with improved consistency and a more responsive magnetic field.
