How to identify custom shop precision bass pickups?

[J. D.]

Hi y'all

Some time ago I bought what was sold as "pickups removed from an actual fender custom shop precision bass with 58-62 handwound". -- I know I know it was probably a scam. Thus, I have dragged my feet installing them because I don't want to mess up the nice setup I have going on in my bass. Now, in the off chance they are the real deal, How do I identify if they are legit?

Sending us pictures might help. I have a set in my CS.

I have a CS '62 P set but I don't know whether I'd see anything about yours that would match--especially without pictures.

Let's try it out. I have attached a couple of photos of the pickups in various angles. Let me know what y'all think.

Looks like P bass pickups to me.

My CS '62 P has a red paint dot marker on the bottom of the bobbin of the treble side pickup. I don't recall a blue dot on the other.

Other than that, I don't see anything that appears questionable. All the materials used appear to be standard or correct; however, plenty of pickup makers make P bass pickups with the same materials and look like that.

I know this thread is old but i bought these used cs62 and came without the plates ... Am I played, i dont see any red/Blue dots , cloth wire is there but honestly I have cloth wired my other bass in the past , it also looked like that so ..
