    I just picked this up, and it sounds great, but I'm seeking a fatter, thicker tone. Think I'm gonna try a humbucker.

    This pickup will drop in a squier 50's P Bass with no modifications. (thats what I tried it in)

    Anyway this is just as the title describes. I just bought it from etsob. I will include the screws and rubber spacers as etsob sent to me. If you look at his post it shows a Fralin box, but he didn't send that, so obviously it won't be included in this sale. It will be packaged securely, though.

    Asking $105.00 shipped priority mail conus-just what I paid for it a few days ago.

    I asked the question because I was interested. Wouldn't I be first in line?

    Jedi -
    First off I apologize if I've offended you with the way I've decided this. Also as a courtesy I should have pm'd you right away. But I had just got up and was leaving for work.
    I would usually believe that the first unconditional "I'll take it " would take priority,as the point of the post is me trying to sell the pickup to acquire another bass.
    I do value my reputation here though, and just in general like to get along. If a mod wants to chime in and let me know if I'm out of line on this I would value they're input.
    Thanks-
    Steve

    No mod needed, I appreciate the apology.

    To me it's the same as taking an item to the register w/ a question, only to have someone behind you shout out "I'll take it" and having the cashier snatch it away to sell it to the guy behind me. Only on a forum like this, johnk was not at all at fault.

    I would have bought it if it were standard wound BTW, was just waiting on the answer.

    Jedi Bass,
    if you want it, you can purchase it since you asked first. if not, i'll take next in line. i certainly didn't mean to snatch it out from under you. ;).

    best,

    john

    Thanks John, that's up to jbravo and dependent on the winding.... if he knows.

    And like I said, it's no fault of yours, just a misunderstanding.

    Per Johnk's wishes you can have it if you want it , otherwise it will go to him. I cannot verify it since I bought it used but my guess is it is standard wind . It was slighty hotter, but much warmer and more "musical" Sounding than the stock squier I bought it to replace. Let me know if it's going to you and if so I'll pm you PayPal info.
    Thanks-
    Steve
