Humbucker Question

[noodle654]

Hello MusicMan owners!

I have owned a MusicMan Stingray 4 for about 5 months and I have one question. What BRAND humbucker is in the Stingray! I see on the MM website that is say MusicMan humbucker. But, is that a branch off lets say Basslines or some other company? Thanks for the help guys!

Yep, it was a trip to see the factory tour a couple of years ago. went through the part where they actually MAKE the bodies and necks, then went through the area where they actually finish the bodies and necks they make, then went through "electronics" which mysteriously was without boxes of pick-ups and pre-amps that were post marked and had shipping labels To Music Man and From somewhere else, none of those boxes to speak of, just a crew of great folks winding humbuckers and getting pre's together

...then there was Ursula...... oh Ursula......

HA - long story short: all my friends started using super cool online handles cuz they saw Hackers and thought they were rad cuz they had AOL... so theyd go by some "witty" handles like Sk8dood007x etc - misspellings and mixed caps... so to mock them all i started using the dumbest thing i could think of...
