Chaddy Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Morning All, I've been having a bit of a headache trying to find pickups that would fit the 2 single screw setup for my Yammy ( see photo ) can anyone help on the matter? Ideally after a Bridge Passive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Hey, 1st post ! Welcome to the forum NIce bass - would you be able to measure the pickups ? They don't look the same dimensions as, say, Jazz bass pickups, so the dimensions might suggest some alternatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 You might be able to get an original from Yamaha, they have a great spares department - I'd try sending an email to Yamaha Music London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 These are custom pickups... yamaha is your best bet... or if you can get them rewound, or you are looking at a complete ground up custom. Epoxy cast would probably be best, using your original pickup to create the impression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaddy Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 Hi guys, forgot to check back to the forum. These are Customs Yamaha ones to fit, I swear I seen somebody somewhere on the tin'net had replaced them with two single screw ones as whats installed. Ive had a small look around for the bridge to be rewound to give higher quality sound even though its matched to the neck pickup (that is more like a P bass sound) I would like some more ooomph from the bridge overall. Sadly I am not a fan of Fender Jazz's unless its a full blown USA model, and I've had this Yammy for 10 years and this baby aint going!

MoonBassAlpha Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Just noticed the bass here: http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/MARUSZCZYK_Elwood_4p_Multiscale_white.html Referred to in another thread. Those Delano Pickups look like they might be in the right ballpark size and shape-wise. Don't suppose they are that cheap though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
