You dont see too many of these out in the wild! Are you sure its a bridge PU as it says neck on the underside?

[Bossajazz]

Full disclosure: It came off a ‘98 BT6 that I bought. At the time I didn’t realise that someone had swapped out the pickups and placed two bridge units in the same bass. You could see that the C string particularly was out of alignment with the polepieces leading somewhat to a lack of volume. It cost a fortune to order a new neck pickup from the States. I wrote ‘neck’ to keep track of the units as in time it needed a new circuit too (another story and fortune!) I now have this lying around…

A good start for a great sixer bass build.

 

One of my all time favourite pickup.
