Essex Jazz Bass Pickups

I was wondering if anyone can tell me if this bass has two pickups with the same dimensions or did they forget to detail the two different sizes?

The said bass can be see here.

I only ask because it seems they don't even tell you the measurements of the pickups on this bass. Link Removed
 
I have the same bass but with the old headstock and its a 5 string. I havent measured yet but it seems that they are the same because on mine the strings arent exactly centered with the magnets on the bridge pickup like they are on the neck pickup. I will measure them for you just to be sure later on when i get to my studio. By the way i own and have owned high end basses and these Sx's are ridiculously good for the money.
 
Well, I e-mailed Kurt and he says that it has the standard jazz bass pickup sizes.

What does that mean? It still doesn't answer the question. "Standard" jazz bass pickups come in both cases where they are both the same size and where one is slightly shorter than the other. With SX the best method regardless is to buy it then measure what you've got.

(Mine are 5 string so I can't help you)
 
I have that same exact bass, its solid, you will be happy with it! il get out my ruler and see if i can help ya out:

The bridge pickup is 3 3/4 in long and 3/4 in wide

The neck pup is 3 1/2 in long and 3/4 in wide.

Hope this helps!

Edit: didnt notice this post was so old, well i hope this info could help others too
