2 EMG 40TWX Pickups & 1 40DC in a Musicman Stingray 5

Here's my bass after some cool mods. We have 2 EMG Alnico 40TWX’s and a 40DC ceramic humbucker. The bass is plugged straight into the computer, there’s no amp, eq etc all you’re hearing is the sound of the bass direct. It has a wide selection of tones, its a bit like a P bass, Stingray and Jazz bass. Enjoy.

The best stingray mod ever done in the hsitory of mankind

[@JimmiClarkeDeeperIntoBass]

Ahh thank you!

[@garysanders3193]

I don't care anyone says, that bass is badass!

[@twocats2543]

Holy smokes, what a setup. I want that bass!

[@JimmiClarkeDeeperIntoBass]

Ahh thanks!! I’m glad you like it.

[@makkitozea4245]

Excellent work, I appreciate your honesty, how and when will start marketing this great concept? And how much would cost👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@bassbutter4767]

Bro!! That has got to be one of the coolest bass I've ever heard in my 64 years on this Earth ! And the sounds and tones are exactly what you said they were. Exactly! Then when you kicked in more of the low end... What?! Are you kidding me!! Bass utopia!! And with those 3 classic tones, there's a bazillion songs you can play! And compose original songs with a blend of those tones that no one else has.. My favorite was the neck and middle together! Are these available? Do you make these? I want one!!

[@MrRedrocket42]

Brilliant mods, one cannot have too many tones available at any one time. Those EMGs throw down some beautiful low mids.

[@quasar5509]

OMG! Yesterday I had the same idea for a possible project, in fact I'm here for the EMG TWX. Sounds great and the switches are a really nice touch!👍 Thanks for making it, cheers!

[@rickmeeder4060]

Sounds great, I wish EB would get their HH stingrays to sound that good

[@maraz2215]

Amazing mod. Sounds really good, exactly how I wanted it to. Thanks. I just Ordered 40TWX pickups and BQC System with switches instead of pul and push pots.

[@fr3d490]

Mind Blown. the Ultimate Frankenstein. This bass is Legit!

[@RobBusingerMusic]

Sounds fantastic!

[@teukurizkynoer8033]

Perfect Upgrade... It's All You Need In One Bass...

[@JimmiClarkeDeeperIntoBass]

Thanks! Really glad you like it, i'm always trying to find the perfect setup.

[@TheShotsii]

My brain is getting a slight headache thinking of so many options. Buttttttt ohmigosh bro well done. You have done the impossible. Decent jazz, prec and ray sound in one bass. Killer.

[@JimmiClarkeDeeperIntoBass]

Thanks

[@AndrewTannusMusic]

I’m so glad I found this! I also am doing a 3 PU mod but on a sterling stingray 5. From bridge to neck I’m using a MMTW5, 40DC, and 40TW. Hoping to be able to get close to having modern sounding MM, P, and J basses in one. Love how this came out for you!

[@gimmeagig]

I kind of like it. I have a EMG P bass and I nudged a EMG Musicman pickup against the p bass pickup on the bridge side. I stuck in a EMG BTQ circuit with a blend control. I liked it so much that I bought a Sterling Stingray 5 and I'll put in the same pickup and EQ configuration except I'll be putting in a EMG soapbar P bass pickup in the front.And the pickups will feel like a ramp

[@herobass]

NICE!!! I really enjoy the tones from your stingray. Super versatile instrument! Keep the grooving. Blessings!

[@JimmiClarkeDeeperIntoBass]

Thanks man!!

[@geekguitars]

Damn!!! All those tones are convincing and usable! I've been using g&l l2k basses for the last 12years and it is so much easier to have quick access with the switches!! Great job 👌👌

[@JimmiClarkeDeeperIntoBass]

Thanks!! I love the G&L 2000’s!!

[@germanperezbottesi4458]

Best bass i've heard. I want one.

[@jamessmith-zk4co]

Whoa, that bass sounds good! Straight smacking!

[@JimmiClarkeDeeperIntoBass]

Thanks James!

[@jrosner6123]

I like the front tw and the dc, either apart or together- nice stuff!

[@fredgonzalez6619]

Dude, that’s freaking cool!

[@l7funk]

Thanks for sharing. Thats a cool Bass

[@makkitozea4245]

Bro !!! Your bass sounds AMAZING 🤩 I would gladly pay for this adjustment !!!!

[@DP-kj4hj]

Brilliant execution. Just brilliant.

[@dannyshutes169]

I like that set up.

[@JimmiClarkeDeeperIntoBass]

Thanks Danny!

[@iamgribs]

Sounds absolutely great. 💯

[@jimdemetri8168]

Oooo man i can see that being a nightmare on stage . Low lights fiddling about . Sorry to many switches

[@kirkegodfrey414]

nice work sir

[@JimmiClarkeDeeperIntoBass]

Thank you!!

[@paulomontoya]

Super awsome setup!!! Mind sharing the schematics? What switches did you use? Thanks!

[@patbassman8251]

Great vid very interesting , love what you have done with the bass, I have bought 2 x 40TW pickups and 2 toggle switches , i am hopping to be able use each pickup in 3 modes , single coil , humbucker , and both together on each pickup is that possible , do I need any additional hardware , if it works i will have at least 24 different tones to hand .

[@rabbirelax]

This is awesome!

[@evil-um4yi]

Sounds great! How did you deal with the different output volumes of the pickups (single coil vs humbucker etc.)? Just by height adjustment?

[@daltonbell2907]

Sooo soooo awesome sounding.

[@sekretlowrider4046]

the coolest mod 2021，

[@katelynseng8341]

I also do that to my squier affinity and i can combine the coils that i want, it can do the tones of musicman and warwick in 1 jazzbass

[@alexanzalonebass]

Hi, the TW pickups are X series, instead the DC pickups is no X serie, right?….why this choice ?….thank you and congratulations for your custom project

[@ianinfinity380]

Love it.. Man you must check sims super quads pickups

[@JimmiClarkeDeeperIntoBass]

Thanks! Yes recently watched a video and they look like game changers!!

[@noorisyan6767]

thank you , Very inspiring :)

[@chrono144]

I really want to do this to my Sterling 5, I changed the bridge to the 18mm spacing, but these tones are killer! mind sharing the distance the neck pickup is from the 22nd fret?

[@MadMagicPaul]

Very nice!

[@peterlaurence-couzens8913]

Look out! Jimmi has had the chisels out again 😂……..

[@tomwilkinson8396]

What about all three on?!? Loving it. Currently doing similarish things with my Sr5

[@tyronepowell3003]

Sounds Awesome.

[@bassplaya4196]

I love it, but me personally i would've did this upgrade to one of the import stingray such as the sterling because if I ever decided to sell it,i could get more for it,lol

[@rmccain99]

You should have just used the back route and a route in front of that with just to soap bars. 3 Jazz pups with a switch like the Gibson grabber G3 would be great. To bad Gibson has not applied that to the 2017T EB .

[@adamomatos]

Cordas 0.40 ou 0.45?

[@bassimprovjams3772]

Damn brother bad ass!!! I think its genius homie,. Will u work on my stingray?!?!?

[@Leon_tornasol]

Great¡ but wheres the musicman stingray 5 hahaha ? Lol

[@makkitozea4245]

GENIUS!!! READY TO BUY, WHERE CAN I FIND IT?

[@rom4486]

😢😢😢. RIP musician

[@pitchfork1972]

What the holy hell?

[@rmccain99]

Gonna be too heavy now. I have The 40PX5 and the 40DCX. I should have gotten the 40DC neck and 40DCX bridge.
