Do EMG 5 string pickup work on a Peavey Grind 6?

[badboy1984]

Was wondering do EMG 5 string pickup (40 series) will work on the peavey grind 6? Was thinking about that because the peavey grind 6 seems to have very tight string space and the stock pickup is around 10.5cm (105mm).

I'd think it would work. I think the EMG's have bar magnets, so if the pickup is wide enough to cover the strings....then it should work.

with the Cort Curbow 6 in this thread - looking for a pickup, possibly a 5-string, that can be tasked for a very narrow-spaced 6-string. I might easily wind up asking the good folks at Nordstrand to custom make one for me, but I wanted to check and see what other options are out there - it's a single pickup bass that I want to add a bridge pickup to, so for at least that second pickup it doesn't really matter what rout I choose to do for it.

I'll just mention the one concern I have about the existing Bart in there now - the outside two strings, the B and C, seem a tad weak. I wonder if that might mean they're right at the extremity of the pattern instead of comfortably within the field. Something to keep in mind - make sure you check the overall spacing the pickup's rated for.
