What is this ???

Hi Bassfriends !
Just found this old looking pickup, but what brand is it ?
Please click to view :
(New scan as of the 3 of October)

I have compared it with my Realist, Wilson and this little piece
of "crap" sounds much better than both of the "giants" !

The wires are likely not going to last very much longer and I would
like to replace it with a new one.

Do you know what brand or type it is ?
Thanks for any help !

Kind regards,

The pick installs by squezing it to the
"wing" of the bridge. It was wrapped in
a small piece of rubber so it does not rattle
due to vibrations.

Thanks !

Hmmm.... Looks kind of like an older Schecter pickup, they were great. Or a "wing" pickup, but I don't remember them being cased in rubber, anyway, they don't make them anymore.
The most modern comparison that I could make is A K&K Bass Max. But I can't really tell too much from just looking at the transducer. Does it connect to a 1/4 inch jack, or a
volume control box,or plug straight into an impedance matching device?

Hello reedo35,
the pickup is soldered on to 1/4 telejacket (female)
likely not original. I connect it directly to
my Hartke combo, no need for a preamp or impedance matching
devices. Very simple but very good.
The rubber is a small piece simply wrapped around the pickup. Original ? I don´t know.

Ther are no markings or brandname.
