question about Rick pups

Does anyone know anything about replacement pickups for rickenbackers? i was thinking about using a neck pickup on my fender. but im not sure of the specs on them and i cant easilly find them on the interent

If you mean replacement pickups for a Rick, Bartolini and Seymour Duncan both make direct replacement sets. I think Alembic does too; - or at least they did at one time.

FWIW:

Bartolini.net & Seymourduncan.com both have their Rics listed. SD site they're under basslines, can't remember what their tag is offhand but seems it's SRB "whatever" for neck and bridge. Seems Barts it's the RTC and RC or something like that - under 4 string (not classics). I know Bart also list dimensions and pretty sure SD does as well. They won't fit a traditional J or P route any more than an original Ric would.
