Description
If you’ve ever chased that mid-90s Ernie Ball Music Man growl — the one that cuts through a mix without even trying — the SMB-4D is built to get you there. Seymour Duncan hand-winds this humbucker in Santa Barbara around two large ceramic bar magnets, and the result is exactly the kind of tight, aggressive punch that made those basses a rock and funk staple.
- Two large ceramic bar magnets for high output and a forward, aggressive attack
- Custom coil wind delivers articulate top end without sacrificing low-end weight
- Forbon flatwork construction with 4-conductor leadwire for wiring flexibility
- Vacuum wax potted to eliminate microphonic squeal
Whether you’re digging in with a pick for heavy rock or working the strings thumb-funk style, this pickup responds with immediate clarity and serious low-end authority — the signature Music Man voice, just refined.
It’s a direct drop-in for 4-string Music Man Stingray basses. Some OLP instruments may also accept it, but measure your pickup cavity against this pickup’s dimensions first to confirm fit. Pair it with Seymour Duncan’s Music Man replacement preamp for a complete tonal overhaul.
Note: not compatible with Music Man basses equipped with a 3-way blade switch.
