What Pickups Are These?

Found these really cheap jazz replacements on Ebay.

Jazz Style Pickguard & Pickup Set Ceramic J bass style

Jazz Style Pickguard & Pickup Set Alinco 5 J bass style

Anyone recognize these? I can't make out the lettering in the brand to search for it.

Also, if anyone is free enough to listen to the sample clips provided in the ebay posting, how do you find them compared to higher, more expensive brands?

It says "Bass Mods" on the pickup covers, like it says in the listing.

Bass Mods is the brand. I've never heard of them. Good pricing. I wonder how good the products are.

Anyone know anything about this "Bassmods" brand then?

Off topic for a minute, is it just me, or is this bridge suspiciously similar to Traben's bridges?

Yeah, I noticed that too.

But I've seen those bridges on ebay. Infact, I've seen everything they sell on ebay (over here in the UK) under various different names.
