Fender P bass original pickup. Is this real? Pole pieces don't look right


Recommended Posts

Look absolutely fine for whats on the box etcbut they are not the 62RI pickups, they came in a different box. Great pickups (had them in a couple of my past bitsa's). Doubt they are trying to pull a fast one - there is a lot of confusion and people often refer to them as 62RI pickups (there are ACTUAL 62 RI pickups but these aint those.)

62RI

Visually they are very similair

*EDIT* Looking at it it seems Fender refer to them as 62 pickups to add to the confusion..

yes, I know there is the custom shop one and the standard one. I have the standard one in a bitsa I made and I want the same again

The polepieces do not looked bevelled in the ebay advert, but they are on the one I have

could just be the bobin sitting low in the covers. HOWEVER a new set from GAK (and a few other retailers)are only about £10 more - so I'd be tempted to go down that route if you are worried. They have the waxed cloth wiring and the baseplate so to me they look legit.

I think you're right, I'll just buy new. Great pickup, another tenner or so shouldn't matter
