Looks like the front pickup is 89.5mm width and the rear one is 92mm. As far as I understand it, they're standard Jazz Bass sizes. Certainly the bass that had these in had Alleva Coppolo Jazz Bass single coils in there first, and they fit fine too.

Hello all Another find from my extensive and unusual parts clear-out. This is a set of Celinder SS Humbucker Alnico Jazz Pickups. Truly a unique set of pickups. I only know of one other person who has a similar set - I think it might be @Kiwi if I recall correctly. I had these made as a custom order direct from Aaron Armstrong back in 2013. I had them made for a Celinder 60's Jazz Bass I owned at that point, and they served me well when mated to a John East J-Retro. When the bass was sold, I reverted it to the original single coils. So these are humbuckers nearly identical to those in every Celinder Update Jazz bass (70s Jazz bass tributes), except they are alnico instead of ceramic. This was to give me a sound more typical of a 60's Jazz, but without the hum. It worked. (Aaron tells me the humbucker design has two coils rotated through 90 degrees, with magnets in the middle of them pressed up against a blade of steel, which in turn runs down the whole length of the middle of the pickup.) They are very low output and low impedance. They have a sound extremely near to single coils - as with other Celinder Updates - but they must be mated to an active preamp to have typical instrument level output. It's been a minute since I used them. But when removed from my Celinder, they were fully working, and I expect them to perform normally. A new set of these would probably be around £250, I think. Ask Aaron, I guess, he would tell you. I've priced these as £140 posted in the UK. Pete

Sold. With thanks

Ah, that is very kind indeed. Thank you!

Sold.

The parts clear out continues. Up next is a rather nice Fender Jazz neck (maple on maple) with fitted Hipshot HB7 tuners and a custom string retainer. The truss rod works, the frets are even and plenty of wear left, it's a comfortable profile (I think a Modern C). It just works, not sure what else to say. The photos hopefully speak for themselves. The tuners are in good condition - one is slightly sticky and needs some grease - but otherwise are fine. The retainer is custom made and rather snazzy, I think. I can include screws but no neck plate. £250 posted in the UK. Pete

Hey all I've been tinkering so much with basses that I have accumulated a lot of excellent parts. Many of which I'm no longer using. This falls into that category. If you're looking at this ad, you likely already know what this is. If not, here's a link to John East's page on it - https://www.east-uk.com/product/acg-eq-01-filter-pre-amp/?v=79cba1185463 I have extensively documented my use of this preamp in my thread on emulating a Wal, and in videos. It sounds great. HAlfway through this video I give it a good demo - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDxJtT8a3cc&list=PLSHz31mSGJJxe1vpRBQ_Kzen08nJ7mCy-&index=9 I haven't seen any of these in production for a while, nor secondhand. They seem scarce. This is fully working. Comes with output jack. No battery clip or knobs though. Base price is £250 + VAT new (so £300). Price for this posted in the UK is £199. Happy to take payment by Paypal or bank transfer. Pete
