Hi guys.
A bud offered me A Sub MM pickup he pulled out for of his Bass for 46$,

Are those pickups the same ones used in Stingrays or cheaper Ones /lower quality?

Thank You in advance

Webtroll sorry i don 't understand what you mean ,
too "slangy" english for my "italianity" :-)
(I don understand if you mean ripoff like A good or bad thing in that case.)

EDIT:NEVERMIND ,My bass has at 18.5=19 Mm at the Bridge (cort gb75 TO upgrade when chance comes) ,that pickup wont fit .i forgot The SUb has 17" at the bridge too.

DAMN,is the 3th time i see a bargain pickup on the web (even norstrand i've spotted atgood price some time ago here in europe) ,and is ALWAYS for 17"...

He was being sarcastic. That's a heck of a price for those pickups if they are indeed the same as the Miusic Man.

well Maybe it could be a good fit for a neck pickup being so narrow spacing,but it would be for another project (some cheapo to upgrade or similar).
Thank You for the help Guys ,Apreciated really
