JohnDaBass Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 My next Bitsa build is a Fenderbird (sort of), I have looked at Thunderbird PUPs but I am not 100% sure. I have acquired an Epiphone Thunderbird bass body, Squier Classic Vibe Jazz neck , Fender MIM tuners, and Hi Mass bridge. My new direction is to fit a Gibson EBO Pup close to the neck and a Stingray style Pup at the bridge. So I am interested to hear from anyone who has used any of the after market Stingray style Pups successfully. Controls will be passive volume, tone and 3 position selector switch. Any views?

longtimefred Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Look no further than the Nordstrand mm4.2. I've just put a pair of them in my Sandberg TM2. Stunning pups and made to be as similar to the early stingray pups as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I had the EMG one. It was very good, but not very ray like. It was smoother, less aggressive in the treble. If you want real Ray tone it’s probably not the one to go for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rexel Matador Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I put a Wilkinson one in one of my builds and it sounds lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloke_zero Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 The warman looks interesting: https://www.warmanguitars.co.uk/product/mm4-4-string-bass-humbucker-13-09kohm-4-wire-overwound/ Any idea where the capacitor chart he references is?
