![]() ![]() The Seymour Duncan STC-3 Active Tone Circuit allows the musician to boost or cut treble, middle and bass frequencies that are specifically selected for electric bass. A combination of tonal controls and customization options make this active tone circuit an ideal replacement for your existing setup, or for a new build. ![]() At the top end of tonal options sits the Seymour Duncan STC-3 Active Tone Circuit. Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA, our ceramic Music Man replacement pickups use two large ceramic bar magnets, Forbon flatwork, 4-conductor lead-wire, and are vacuum wax potted for squeal free operation.Much like a gallon of paint brightens up a room, installing an active preamp into a bass will open up the onboard capabilities that are available to the user. NOTE: not for use with Music Man basses that have a 3-way blade switch. These pickups may fit into OLP instruments as well but check the dimensions of our pickups (on this site) against the size of your OLPs pickup slot to be sure. The 4-string version is a drop-in replacement for Music Man Stingray basses with 3-knobs, and the 5-String version is a drop-in replacement for Music Man Stingray basses with 4-knobs. This Music Man pickup and preamp system is available in 4 and 5-String configurations. This pickup and preamp combination will give your bass a ton of versatility and improve the overall feel and responsiveness of your instrument. You get the power and punch of our modern ceramic pickup, and the surgical precision of our Music Man preamp and EQ. This pickup gives you extended frequency range and that Music Man midrange in one motion. Dropping in a whole new pickup system can be daunting, but we make it easy to get world-class tone in one easy package. ![]() Output – The overall output of a passive pickup is influenced by several design factors: number of turns of wire on the coil(s), strength of the magnet, coil geometry and magnetic circuit geometry.The output of an active pickup is influenced by the same factors but is predominantly determined by the design of the onboard preamp.īreathe new life into your Stingray with our complete Music Man electronics replacement system. Looking at this from another point of view, ceramic magnets can be said to produce increased clarity, better note definition and faster response to picking. It is for this reason that many consider ceramic magnets to have a brittle sound, not their gauss strength. This has the effect of decreasing the inductance of the pickup and significantly raising the resonant frequency. The magnets at the lower end of the scale tend to produce a softer attack and a degree of “bloom” to the envelope of the note.Ĭeramic magnets should be considered as an individual case because they do not contain any nickel or iron. As the gauss strength goes up, so does the output. From there in order of ascending strength you have A2, A4, A5, A6, Ceramic and A8. ![]() Of the magnets we use, Alnico 3 has the lowest gauss strength. In the case of pickups, the most significant characteristic is the gauss strength, which is a measure of the density of the magnetic field. Magnet – We use several different magnet formulations: Alnico 2, Alnico 3, Alnico 4, Alnico 5, Alnico 6, Alnico 8 and Ceramic 5/8. DCR is often used as a gauge of output because as the turns increase, so does the output, though magnet type and the coil geometry also influence output. The length of the coil form, the number of turns and the gauge of wire all affect the DCR reading. DCR – Short for DC Resistance, is measured in Ohms and is the total resistance of the copper wire wound around a coil form. ![]()
