The covers look right and so does the epoxy potting. I remember two coils side by side facing each other. I wonder if the coils are stacked on top of each other in the units pictured.
I'm shocked. It's so extremely important that you remember the numerical designations of your bass picks.
Pfffffftttt!

Sidewinders. I got one around here somewhere but those look correct.
Have to admit I did look all that stuff up a while ago, but only to be able to mail order the correct shape. Since buying a tin of Gibson XHs, nary a thought has needed to be given.

'76 3 screw covers but those pickups don't look like the ones in mine!
Like I said, Gibson = Inconsistant
I wish that was the price I paid for mine. The shipping would be a killer. I occasionally think about getting a black grille to match the amp, but I've never seen one listed for sale here. Also the silvery blue cloth is quite blingy.
Any chance they could be out of a Greco or one of those brands?
Yes... silvery blue wins. You maybe could find some of the Ampeg fabric online and customizer your amp to match the cab

Can't say that I've ever seen anybody but Gibson do a 3 screw cover, my Greco and Orville are 2 screw, same for Epiphone Elitist.
Trying to find the company that makes them. If i find the link, i'll send it.
I still prefer the silver myself.

If Carlo, Mark, and Scott say it's Gibson, then we have convincing proof that the pickup is Gibson.

Just get the grill cloth and make one.
