Bass Humbucker Pickups also known as MusicMan or ‘MM-style’ pickups, nicknamed from the release in 1976 by Music Man’s of the Stingray bass.
Deliver a punchy tone that will ensure you cut through the mix. When created the MM Style bass humbucker was a beast in the day. Compared to the split coil p and j bass pups of the time, the sound was enormous and almost had to be treat with care. Louis Johnson (Thunder Thumbs) tore ship up in the 70’s upon the launch of the MM Humbucker pickups.
Since then bass humbuckers have grown in popularity of use in different genera’s. Along with the technology behind the designs. Artists such as Tim Crawford and Justin Chancellor have taken the bass humbucker to new levels of sonic sounds that have defined their own bass tone in music history.

ExcellentBased on 49 reviewsJoshua Haslemore17 August 2024I cannot recommend Brad at Tone Merchants enough. I picked up an Ibanez AS73 and have been looking to really get some life into it. I am by no means a guitar tech expert in any way shape or form. After doing a bit of research on what I was after, Brad took me through some options to help get the best out of this guitar. Came back with some gorgeous Lollar Imperials and even split coil for fun. The end result far exceeded my expectations. A completely different guitar and a super easy process to get sorted. Brad is great at communicating and helping you get what you are after if you're thinking about making some upgrades or adjustments to your guitar(s), go see Brad!Patricia Danielle Tan13 August 2024Amazing product range hard to find elsewhere in NZ, with responsive and friendly service to go with super quick shipping for in stock items. Highly recommended :)Tim Burrell26 July 2024Great communication. Prompt delivery. A+Andy Cheal22 July 2024Brad at Tone Merchants is awesome to deal with, up front, honest, friendly and great communication. I will not hesitate to use him again in the future or recommend him to anyone.moose20 July 2024Great local store sourcing in hard to get parts from abroad. Great seller, really smooth service and was even kind enough to throw in a great recommendation for a local luthier to fit the parts.Shane Hinton16 July 2024Brad has been super helpful and responsive aiding my various tone quests, starting with Fralin pickups and more recently, some Genzler amplification. It’s great to deal with someone so passionate and knowledgeable about their products and willing to go the extra mile for his customers. Good things!Doug Watt11 July 2024I brought an Aria bass from Tone Merchants. The process was effortless, good communications, fast shipping and the bass was securely packaged.
