Price includes postage. This pickup came in my 2015 Mike Lull PJ4 but I've now switched back to my old favourites, Lindy Fralin. I wasn't planning on letting this go but needs must and I seriously doubt I'll be straying from the vintage vibe of Fralins again. It's a great pickup and has a modern sound which is focused, tight and above all serious top quality. I'll post proper pictures in the next day or two when I get home, for now here it is in my Lull

(If the gentleman concerned sees this and would like me to remove it, I'm happy to do so. Was VERY grateful for his help!). QUOTE "It all looks legit to me. The made in USA stamp came in 1976 when the logo changed, some of the early 76xxxx serial numbers have it too (before they became S7xxxx). The gloss neck and clean hardware is so typical of that era, many folks get very suspicious with the late 70's gear because it ages so well! Looks like a lovely slapper that one" END QUOTE. [/quote] I'm cool with that thanks Karl, you didn't print the bromance bits so I reckon we're alright As for 'expert', perhaps not. But experienced and always learning, somewhat For many years I've wanted a YOB ones of these, this exact spec. If only I was one year younger and a bit richer. (Edit- I mean one year older...when was I born?) GLWTS pal.

Ouch, this brings back painful memories... I sold my first and most favoured Stingray in 2008 when I needed to sell off all my gear to buy a flat. I've bought and sold a huge amount of basses but the Stingray is the only one I'd want back, every year I send an email to the guy who has it now, every year he says he won't sell it! Better off with a £700 bank loan in the long run perhaps? If not, GLWTS

I only bought this pickup up two weeks ago to go in my Lull PJ4, but have since installed a Lindy Fralin P Bass pickup in the neck position and they don't match up well (though luckily the Nordstrand Dual Coil that I had before this Big Single does match up very well with the Fralin and sounds great). This one matched up beautifully with the Nordstrand NP4 P Bass pickup that was installed before, and gave me the extra trebles and bite that I was looking for. But as I've been a huge Fralin fan for a long time I seriously doubt I'll ever put the Nordstrand P Bass pickup back in again as I feel back at home again with the Fralin (in case you're wondering, the Nordstrand is a fantastic pickup for a modern and tight Precision tone). Anyway, 2 weeks old and hardly used. Bargain for replacing another soap bar pickup or replacing a Dual Coil. Bartoloni DC size - 101mm X 32.3mm From the Nordstrand site... single coil 4/5/6 string bass pickups these pickups are all about huge, full, loud, aggressive single coil tone. they use the same magnet layout as the fat stack, and the resultantly big coil is about as much single coil pickup that can be packaged in a soap-bar cover. this is the ultimate pickup for the jazz bass®-on-steroids tone purist! these pickups will fit as replacements for bartolini™ p2 (5 string) and bc (4 string) pickups. dimensions are 4.25″ by 1.25″ and 3.95″ by 1.25″ respectively. standard spacing is 19mm ctc at the bridge
