This pickup sires a tone coveted by all who experience its pronounced midrange scoop and driving timbre of the classic, full-bodied MusicMan range. The specs that go into its design are derivative of the early MusicMan basses, which contribute to its powerful low end, heavy scoop, and present yet pleasant top end. This pickup's 70s inspired tone will provide the player with the sonically encompassing sound of modern Music Man models without any of the clanky sting that is sometimes present in the high end.
Technical Details:
History: As is the case with all our other historically inspired replacement pickups, the development of the MM4.2 was instigated upon our diligent craftsmen's desire to puncture the sonic space-time continuum, reach through the time warp, and pull that classic 70s tone through to the other side. Carefully reproduced and meticulously refined with history in mind, the MM4.2 stands as proof of our shop's ability to transcend the timeline of frequencies the muse's tonal prospects have come to develop throughout the decades.

"Then I heard about the Nordstrand pickups. The Nordstrand pickups state they use the same wire, same magnets and the same resistance of the early Music Man pickups. I specifically bought the MM4.2 to swap out for one of my 2 band EQ Stingrays. The pickup came well packaged with brief but accurate wiring instructions. The Nordstrand pickup looks identical to the Ernie Ball pickup except for rounded pole piece edges and a tiny N stamped in the lower right hand corner. This should be a benefit for anyone wanting to keep the stock look of the bass..."
