Are the pickups in a Highway One American made?

I read two conflicting bits of info. Seller is stating original pickups are American made, two other sources on the internet say the bass is USA made except for the hardware. So are the pups MIM or USA?

if it's a pbass, then it might be mia. if it's a jazz bass, maybe it's mim because the classic 60s and 70s are mim.

does that help?
