I'm very happy with my main bass which is a Stingray 5. What I'm sometimes lacking is some top end and definition when I use the single coil mode so what I'm looking for might be a replacement PU that retains the classical Stingray parallel HB sound but has a more open sound than the stock PU in single coil mode. Ideas and experiences anyone? Does the piezo option solve the problem?

Try the Bartolini MMC5 pickup it has a real open organic sound without the high zing in them.
