What blade pickups are available

[JACink]

As the title says, who makes blade style pickups?

I have found only the DiMarzio DP127 (I think), and have nothing against DiMarzio's, just wondering what else is out there?

I know Joe Barden does. I think Dingwall pickups are blades but they're cased in.

Reverend does too, but I don't think they're sold separately. The DiMarzio Will Power P pickup isn't a blade pickup by definition, but the pole pieces are so close together it behaves like one.

Thanks all, I will investigate.

For the record, I am looking for p'ups that have the blades showing (it's a cosmetic thing).

Lace Alumitones are blades but look like split-coils.

Delano JC5TF looks so cool! Just got these and haven't installed on my bass.

If you can find one (good luck), the German-made Original Bill Laurence (OBL) dual blade pickups are very good, but don't confuse them for the Indonesian-made licensed copies which are not very good... The difference is in the logo. This is the real deal...

This is not (notice the "//////////// O B L" logo)...

Lace Sensors and Alumitones are not typical blade pickups. They have a design that makes use of a very weak magnetic field, and are not at all a traditional type of pickup. I don't care for Alumitones but the Sensors are outstanding.

While not necessarily bass pickups, many guitar sized pickups have blades and work well for bass.

Yes, if they are not overwound to the point that the mids dominate the response.
