Any ideas on manufacturer of this pickup?

This pickup is mounted on my Bartell "mystery" bass. It's very similar to some Guild guitar pickups I've seen but not like other Bartell bass pickups. Hoping someone might have seen something similar elsewhere.

DeArmond? If its vintage USA, probably DeArmond.

Thought about that but I haven't been able to find any other DeArmond bass pickups w/ 2 poles per string.

Looks like an old Carvin pickup. They used to make pickups for Mosrite too. That looks a lot like a Mosrite pickups with the two ceramic magnets. I bet they made the other Bartell pickups.

Also, I had an old Carvin APH-4N humbucker, and that used the same style screw poles.

I wasn't implying that the pickup in the OP is a DeArmond. I don't think it is, mainly because of the leads. It reminds me of the Hohner Black Widow a little from the top.

Yes, it looks a bit like all of them.

It's the same manufacturer: Bartell.
