1958 Fender Precision pickup with raised A poles

Any one with experience playing a bass with this pickup??

that variation went away quickly for a reason

I have one of them,its an original,thinking about trying it on an old P I have

I have one in a CS NOS '59P, it requires some extreme adjustment to even out tone and volume. It is a good sounding pickup, not fantastic, but pleasing in its own way, a very strong mid tone, if that's your thing, highs are a bit subdued, but still there.

whats strange is the pickup will be slanted backwards from what a regular pickup is oriented, hoping it doesnt change the height on setup too much

My action is fine, and I like it low...
