Does anyone have a proper EBMM or pre-EBMM Stingray and can get a DCR reading? I just did a reading on the pickup in my budget Stingray and it's reading 6.47k, which leads me to believe that it's wired in series, not parallel as Stingrays traditionally are. Which cooperates with the way it sounds to my ears and the fact that historically the Sub4 is a louder bass.

Yeah, I found this out because I ordered the 90s inspired ceramic GFS MM pickup and apparently the new ones only come in series. They advertise them at 8k, which claims to be overwound, which made me wonder what my pickups dcr is.You will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright

id guess thats series but hard to tell without putting a meter on each coil. i dont have anything i can check for you but i do remember working on my buddies old sting ray and i think it read like 1.5k, which suggests 3k per coil in parallel

So I think that confirms it, Sub4 has a series pickup. Which makes me think it probably sounds pretty crummy in parallel, but I may convert it to four conductor just for fun.You will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright

I think I'll get an SD MM after a while if the GFS doesn't work out. I've already spent too much money on guitars this month as-is.You will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright

Definitely in agreement as far as bass goes. The nuances between the positions is lost at lower frequencies. In the end I decided to just hardwire it in series.You will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright
