I have an EBMM 5 made in 2003. Does that mean it features the ceramic pick-up and not the alinco? My guess is yes since this instrument voices differently than my EBMM 4 that was made in 2001. I like them both, and appreciate that they don't sound the same. Just curious about the pick-up in the 5-stringer.
 
Alnico pickups didn't start until 2008, so yours should be ceramic. Assuming you are talking about a Stingray5.
