It might be that a decent preamp is all you need. It is possible that the pickup will be just fine and dandy. 

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 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Looking to upgrade the pickup and preamp in my MTD Kingston, but it seems to be an odd size - 50mmx105mm

 

Anyone know of any off the shelf pickups that would fit. Would like to pair it with a Spector Tonepump if that helps. 

 

Thanks! 

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 😉

Mate, put a set of 40HZ in there, wire them in parallel, pair them with the right TCT setup, and you'll have the pre-Gibson Tobias tone 

Here's mine 😁. Northern Ash/Ash/Maple 535 with my personal custom electronics package 😎

Not your average MTD build 😎
