I have a set(same seller too), they are Gibson pickups. You can tell by the wire they use, single conductor, with wire shielding.

Do you have them installed? Are they a good fit? How do they sound?

I have not got them installed in a bass yet, they're going into a Explorer, with a Fender style neck, that I'm making myself.

I did float them over the strings on one or two of my basses, as a test run, sounds nice, quiet, loud, agressive, I do like the tone.

Oh, by the way, they actually come out of the old Gibson Les Paul Bass, this one to be exact.

But they're the same pickups as are in a T-Bird, just different casings.
