I know I know but i can NOT Afford a custom bass by one of you guys.
The tone you guys acheive brings me to tears.  
So I figure that i can get close to yalls tonal bliss by your pickups.

The ones I know use their own special pups include Ritter and I think Jerzy Drozd. Skjold makes his own now too I believe.

| | | | As long as you ask politely, and let them know what you're planning to use them for, I certainly don't think it's rude.
You've got to be willing to take no for an answer of course. |

SGD, a guy on here too, will definitely sell them aftermarket. He makes neodymium pickups.

If they make a living doing this, they will welcome your business.
If they won't sell pickups alone, they will say no and you still just made them a compliment.
Go ahead and ask!
Sadowsky uses a lot of different pups: EMG, Nordstrand and his own(don't know if he makes them himself but his name are on them) and i've seen Sads with Barts on them too. |

I am thinking of replacing the Aeros on my second KL and Citron never crossed my mind

via FoxyTunes | I asked wilser to make me some and he said that he would love to, but he is simply just too busy with everything else that he doesn't have the time to fit a pickup order in. If you are looking for a custom size that you can't find, nordstrand will make you custom sized pickups.

I believe Fury was involved with an earlier generation of the Dingwall pickups. |
