Pickup identification...

[earwax190]

I'm planning out a bass build using some parts I got from an old fender, but I can't seem to figure out what type of pickups I have. It was a Precision Plus, but someone swapped out the Lace Sensors sometime in the early to mid 90's. Any ideas?

I think the LP logo might be Lane Poor. I'm not that familiar with them, but I gather that they're considered a lot more desirable than the Lace Sensors which would have been in there.

Lane Poor. I would put them back in immediately....or sell them for more than what you paid for the bass.

Yes, they are desirable.

Thanks guys, Frickin sweet! These came out of my first bass, a Precision Plus that I stripped out the truss rod in a youthful attempt to adjust the action close to twenty years ago. I got an Ibanez 406 shortly after, and when the Fender's neck became to warped, I stripped the electronic's and hardware, including the Schaller bridge and tuners, and put it all in storage. I recently inherited some good woodworking tools (my grandfather's hobby for 50+ years), and I'm getting set up to build instruments. I figured one of the first would be the bass that started it all, I remember it sounding good, but didn't know squat at the time, so now I really can't wait to get this sucker rolling!
