Seymour Duncan SMB-4A Replacement Pickup for Music Man Bass Seymour Duncan SMB-4A Replacement Pickup for Music Man Bass

Alnico Magnet - 1976-voiced humbucker. Great for blues, funk, classic rock, southern rock, jam, and hard rock.

In other words, the Alnico version is both warmer on the bottom and more detailed on top. Comes with four-conductor hookup cable and logo cover. Generally used together with STC-3M3 and -3M4 Tone Circuits for optimal tonal control.
