SurroundedByManatees Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I've got this pickup fitted in a Fernandes Revival bass I recently bought. It's not the original pickup, but I do not know which brand/type this is. As you can see it has swirly pole pieces, and the pickup covers are not smooth but have a fine texture to them. Does anybody recognize it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Kent Armstrong, or Seymour Duncan. I'm sure one of those 2 has swirly pole pieces, just can't remember which. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurroundedByManatees Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 I think both brands have standard smooth pickup covers. These have a fine texture to them. There are no marks on the bottom. It has magnet bars at the bottom though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommorichards Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Looks like it could be a cheap set. Nearly all the aftermarket pickups you can get are always magnetic pole pieces. The ones with a bar magnet under them are cheaper to make.So it could have come from China, a squier, or someone's spares box. Unless there's any markings on them, I doubt they will be a decent aftermarket set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurroundedByManatees Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 Thanks for the info The pickup doesn't sound bad. Though I'll probably put in a different one to try and see what happens to the sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
