It's too bad that these high quality pickups are sitting here. I only play four string now so I have no use for them.
Make a reasonable offer.

 

They do. They came off a bass made by Shawn May. He makes the covers then sends them to Kent Armstrong to made the pickups and epoxies it all together.

 

I guess if the strings are alined between the poles it might work for 4 string. As long as the magnetic field is equal. It would be unusual.

 

That's very subjective.
Full, round and balance sound.

I believe Ken Smith Basses have the same pickups made for them.

 

They can be used without a preamp. If you look at the photos you will see tabs on the back. Each coil has a tab at the start and end of the coil along with a ground and each casing has two coils.

 

Yes of course, they can be wired to a switch to change from series to parallel. The bass they were in had a series/parallel for each pickup. On the web you can find many diagrams for wiring. Check out Kent's website. I believe he has some diagrams.
