I'm hesitant to ever use the word "Mint" on anything, but I don't think these were ever mounted to a bass that had strings on it (came loaded in a body that I recently way overspent on). The leads definitely plenty long for installation, and I'm including the foam for mounting. I personally prefer the hum/noise associated with the traditional single coil, so I really don't need these. That said, the reviews and clips that I've heard made me think about keeping them anyway. The shells are the long/short standard [ 4.01" ( 104.1mm ) & 3.973" ( 100.9mm ) ]... Fender standard size.
The original ad copy:
These pickups look like traditional single-coil J Bass pickups, but under the hood, they're hot-rodded to perfection. For starters, gigging bass players here at Sweetwater dig these Duncans, because although they look like single-coils, Apollo Jazz Bass pickups are linear humbuckers, so you can say goodbye to that pesky 60-cycle hum and other grounding noise. At the same time, they're absolutely loaded with fat, punchy tone, delivering the extra impact that's missing from many stock J Bass pickups.
