Hi Nicolas, what is the serial number?

Hi Nicolas, what is the serial number?

@E61237 Ceramic year but without any fantom coil ?

IIRC, ceramic magnets are full width bar magnets
below the row of slugs. So I xpek those are alnico,
which would make sense for an early model [first
version] SR5 with no dummy coil.

It's from my 2007 SR5 and i have the same on my 01 2008 SR5 HH before march ! So they are pre alnico era Alnico pus ?

OOOPPZEZ ... yeah I forgot to cornsider the dual PU models.
The way the switching is arranged, no dummy coil is needed
cuz one of the other coils handles the humbugging chores.

Nevillethelesch I do bleeb thaz alnico, mainly cuz I don't see
the bar magnet, which is the only form of ceramic magnet I
know of in use by MM.

Whether your specimens are just very slightly ahead of their
time is a question far beyond simple Newtonian Psychics, so
we'll hafta to wait for a Particle Physicist to chime in. I think
my SR5HS is a 2008. It's alnico, but I'm not up on the exact
month thing. I suspect there is no exact month thing in the
MusicMan manufacturing calendar. They're not afraid of the
Mayans, even tho they live closer to them than most of us.

I remember seeing some pictures of EBMM basses that instead of the bar, and small round ceramic magnets on the bottom of each pole piece.

and no fantom coil ?

There were also some revisions of the SR5 that had no phantom coil, even with one humbucker. So you get the single coil sound but with hum.

no i have the serie with filter ! It's a 08 2007 SR H ! Thanks !

I've only seen small round magnets on Bongos and Big Als, those are Neodymium.

I've only seen small round magnets on Bongos and Big Als, those are Neodymium.

SO there is a " Neo" transition model between the end of ceramic and the alnico or Bongo's pickups on Stingrays ?

I have some doubts about that. Just wait for WillyD's answer)

 

[Nicolas Chelly]

I have the same pickups in a 09 2007 SR5 H and 01 2088 SR5 HH ! I don't think those are ceramic ! The polepieces are grey not shiny ! Thanks folks !!

Hello Nicolas,

It looks like I have the same pickups in my 2013 SR5 HH, they have the same "Rev B" text and another text that seems to be a part number. I've checked the specs and DOB of the mentioned bass, and have been informed that they are Alnico pups.

If you are interested, I can send you some pictures of my pickups.


Regards,
Rafael.
