Pups on Roscoe Beck IV bass?

No it is not, Bill Lawrence designed them for Fender, and Fender hold all right to them, and will not sell them seperatly.

 

About a year ago, there was a set on ebay,but I haven't seen any since...
They are such great pickups too!

 

Here's a neck pickup:

I just used some in a bass I built. I ordered them from fender, but apparently they are nearly out and need to make another batch. One of them had grounded poles, the other one I had to modify to ground the poles.

 

Wow, you can get them!

 

Yep, and they are pretty cheap ($70 ea.), and sound fabulous. I mainly use them as 2 different J combinations. Be aware the coils are placed for fronts as a pair or backs as a pair, not inners/outers like Nordstrands. So the difference between the two combos is fairly subtle.

 

Is it wrong that I want to buy 20 of 'em?

 

Not at all! Another killer sound is both in parallel with the neck rolled off a little. It has a good punch but not harsh.

 

Are they readily avalable, or do they just come up every now and then?

 

I don't know, maybe I just got lucky. I found the part #s (on fenders web site) and asked the local shop to order them. They came in a week later. The shop thought they were wrong (thought they were 5 string) which you will understand if you have seen them!

 

I know how that came up!


I might ask my local shop can the get them, they surely can, if they're Fender dealers.
