I have! It's a neat pretty feature they have on the preamp, I just love the sound of it with the ceramic pickup.

So after a while being busy with life I got around to modding my Ray4 to where I'm finally pleased with the results. I wasn't too happy with the stock pickup when I first got it so I replaced it with a Norstrand MM4.2 and left the stock preamp in. It had a different sound for sure but not one I...

That's weird, I would think they wouldn't be that different. I think your best bet is probably just going for the Musiclily p/g, that worked for me anyway.

Will definetely try this as well, thanks!

I just checked them out and they do ship to Mexico apparently! It's funny because I got the Nordstrand pickup from bestbassgear and they do ship internationally as well, just not SD or Aguilar products. So it's not so much the stores who won't ship outside the US, but rather the manufacturers...

I got it off Amazon, it cost me about $15 and the screw holes lined up almost perfectly, I just needed to make a few adjustments where the pickguard meets the neck. Not perfect, but it's alright. I also just found out that SBMM sells parts directly from their website as well, might be worth...

I did not, I should've tried that first but I was too quick to jump in getting the MM4.2. Oh well, I think I'll get a 3 band EQ either way and see how that goes.

Got it, I think the next step will be getting a new preamp. Will probably have to be a Norstrand 3 band since SD and Aguilar don't ship to Mexico.

Hey guys, so a few months ago, I got a brand new Ray4 in Mint Green, and recently I thought about modding it. The stock pickup sounded a little harsh and tinny to my taste, especially compared to my OLP MM2, which I absolutely love. So I went ahead and got a Norstrand MM4.2 pickup, painted the...

I guess that's what I'm going to try, switch out the stock preamp for a 3 band, see how it goes. Thank you guys for your very helpful answers!

That was exactly my thought as well, I was kind of disappointed when I first tried it out, but it was already too late. In all fairness, I got a little carried away when I decided on that pickup and should've made a little more research beforehand. I have an OLP MM2 and love the way it sounds...

Hey guys, I got myself a brand new SBMM Ray4 a couple months ago, and the only thing I didn't like about it is the stock pickup, it sounded too harsh and tinny to me. So I went ahead and got a Nordstrand MM4.2, got it installed, and to be honest, I wasn't too convinced about the sound either. I...
