Plexiglass replacement parts?

[leftyhook]

I have an Ibanez copy of the Dan Armstrong 'see-thru' plexiglass bass which was issued from '69 for a few years.
Unfortunately some 30 plus years ago I attempted to rectify a pick-up problem and have managed to lose the pick-ups, pots, knobs and bridge saddle!
Does anyone have any idea which type of pick-ups would fit the bass? I don't mind having to modify the body as I will never be able to restore the bass to it's original
state.
This is very much a sentimental bass that I would like to get up and running. The bass cost me a mere £50 way back then so I am prepared to spend a couple of hundred £ on it.
Help?!!

Hi - as far as I know, all of the MIJ 70s copies of the Armstrong have standard guitar-sized 4-pole humbuckers, so it shouldn't be impossible to find exact-fit replacements. You don't see the exact same type too often these days (although vintage MIJ basses with the right pups do come up on Ebay) but you can still get the likes of these:

Which, fitted in a pair of standard flat humbucker mounting rings, should drop straight into your bass.

It would be very useful - not to mention interesting to the vintage JapCrap fans like me - to see some pics of your bass. Is the bridge the Gibson EB-0 type with just a pressed steel bar for a saddle? If you don't mind spending a bit of cash on the bass, a worthwhile upgrade might be something like a [url="http://store.hipshotproducts.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=326"]Hipshot Supertone.[/url]

FWIW the first Ibanez catalogue to feature the 2364B was 1971, so yours is very unlikely to be any older than that - Ibanez didn't really make copy guitars before that. If your bass is an Ibanez I would strongly recommend that you don't modify it irreversibly - 70s MIJ Dan Armstrong copies are very rare & collectable to begin with and Ibanez-branded examples are pretty much unheard-of in the UK.
