I definitely found that to be the case with mine! One other thing I did was change the pickup wiring to parallel (comes wired series stock) to get an even better OG Stingray tone. That paired with a Bart NTBT preamp was ππΌππΌππΌ

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 π
