I need some pups for a Kramer 650B

The bridge pickup looks like a DiMarzio Model P, or a Schaller PBX. Kramer used to use both DiMarzio and Schaller pickups in the 80s.

Are you sure the pickups are dead? That almost never happens. I'd bet there's a wiring problem.

Originally that bass had two Kramer pickups like this:
