Description
If your StingRay has always felt a hair thin on the bottom, the Bartolini MMC is the fix. It’s a dual-coil pickup engineered as a drop-in replacement for the Music Man StingRay, built to match the standard bridge shape and mounting so there’s no routing or modification involved — just pull the old one and wire this in.
This is one of Bartolini’s Original Series basses pickups, meaning it’s a passive design through and through — no preamp, no active electronics, just raw output shaped by the coils themselves. The dual-coil configuration is where the low-end character comes from: it’s voiced for a deep, full tone that gives your bass more weight in the mix without turning muddy. For players who want that StingRay growl but with more foundation underneath, this is the upgrade path.
Bartolini casts these pickups in epoxy, which isn’t just a manufacturing detail — it kills unwanted feedback and microphonic noise, keeping things quiet and controlled at stage volume. That matters when you’re standing next to a loud drummer and a guitarist who won’t turn down.
- Fits 4-string Music Man StingRay-style basses
- Standard Music Man pickup shape for direct replacement
- Dual coil design, passive Original Series construction
- Epoxy-cast to reduce feedback and microphonics
- Width: 1.90″ / 48.13mm — Length: 3.50″ / 88.90mm (ears not included)
- Tone profile: deep, full-bodied low end
A solid pick for bassists chasing more low-end punch out of their StingRay without chasing a whole new instrument.
