Help me ID these pickups - poles resemble a forward slash "/"

I acquired a Mike Lull Bass which I will soon be selling. It came to me with some pickups that I am unable to identify. I contacted the manufacturer who said the pickups are aftermarket. Any ideas who makes these pickups?

i've played zexcoil strat pickups, they do an amazing job of tricks like sounding like a full-size humbucker even when they're single coil sized. i don't mean "hot rails" type narrow humbuckers but actual physically larger pickups, something that's usually kind of impossible.

those are likely pretty awesome pickups
 
I bought the Zexcoil J this fellow played in the video below. When it arrived, I immediately stripped the tort guard off it and threw it right in the trash. :roflmao: Aside from that, the bass is still as-bought, and I'm rather pleased with it.

 
i like how the a....d....and g strings sound with those pups...couldnt handle the sound of the e string in any of those configurations..and i cant explain any other way except it sounded ...weak....( my opinion of course)

Hate to revive an old thread, but what were your opinions of the Zexcoil J? I watched that video, but couldn't hear the differences I'm betting are there. Could you compare it to a traditional single coil?
