Cieran Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) £75 + P&P or best offer..... For sale the stock pickup from my Gretsch G2202 short scale. I have owned the bass for just over a year and decided to upgrade to a TV Jones Thunder'Tron. Some of the reviews I have seen for this pickup describe it as 'hot' and a 'behemoth delivering more sound than twice the pickups on other basses costing up to twice as much'. You can see some reviews of the bass (and pickup) here: [url="http://www.harmonycentral.com/products/46714"]http://www.harmonycentral.com/products/46714[/url] [url="http://www.harmonycentral.com/products/46714"]http://www.harmonycentral.com/products/46714[/url] [url="http://www.musicgearreview.com/reviews.php?man=Gretsch&cat=Bass_Guitars&mod=Electromatic%20Junior%20Jet%20G2202"]http://www.musicgearreview.com/reviews.php...r%20Jet%20G2202[/url] I contacted TV Jones who made the pickup and he informed me that it was 'Gibson style mini humbucker under a Rickenbacker style cover'. It is an english mount version (EM-2) and a Gretsch style pickup ring (bezel) is included. If you need me to give you exact dimensions please let me know and I will be happy to oblige. You can see a picture of the english mount style on TV Jones blog below as well as the measurements (which are practically idential): [url="http://tvjones.com/wp/the-english-mount-demystified"]http://tvjones.com/wp/the-english-mount-demystified[/url] [url="http://www.tvjones.com/tech_specs/techspecs.html"]http://www.tvjones.com/tech_specs/techspecs.html[/url] --> click 'Pickup Dimensions - English Mount' and 'Pickup Ring Dimensions' This is in excellent condition and would make an excellent addition to any bass. l live in London if anyone wants to check it over before commiting to purchase, or alternatively I can post it to you. Paypal would be the prepared method of payment. Please let me know if you have any questions or need pictures taken from different angles etc....

Cieran Posted January 29, 2011 Author Posted January 29, 2011 Price drop - £50 ono My lack of experience with pickups meant that the original price was too high - dropping the price to reflect this.
Cieran Posted January 30, 2011 Author Posted January 30, 2011 Found a buyer in the US who is prepared to pay $60, so if anyone else wants it for the same price or more - speak now or forever hold your peace!
