    I've just checked it and it seems that fits the dimensions are very very similar, I'll need to cut some wood , now I'm wondering where I'll open one more hole to put the fourth switch thing..
    but if it fits can i use this pickup?

    I had a Washburn like that and replaced the pup with a Bartolini something-or-other - very, very disappointing.

    I played it for a while & didn't like it - B very poor, - so I put it on Ebay & sold it with the original pup - I took off the Bart & sold it separately.

    After I put the original pup back on I plugged it in and was totally blown away by the difference - the tone was a little brittle, but the B string was huge!!! EQing made it sound wonderful.

    Too late, I was obliged to sell. Been seriously considering another one ever since.

    I find the Basslines above a bit on the scooped side for me - I had one on an Ibanez RD605.
