Help identifying MM pickup

[MagicMan_841]

Hi all.

I'm looking for some help identifying a pickup I have for my bass built.

I bought it years ago here on TB and was told it was a stock Stingray pickup. However, all the Stingray pickups I have seen on the web don't have the two wide magnets on the back.

Here are the pics :





There are no inscription on it of any kind... but perhaps someone will know if this really came of a Stingray and if not, out of what it did actually came out of.

My '80 and '96 Stingrays had the pole pieces showing through the bottom (with height adjustment springs attached to the outer 4), and sharp edges at the top, so my guess is that's not a Musicman pickup. Maybe it's an OLP pickup.

Oh well... I wonder what it's going to sound like..!

Any other ideas?

Probably a Seymour Duncan SMB-4d (ceramic model).

Yeah... and it doesn't look like it was sanded off either.

Could definitely be this Carvin but no back shot to verify.
