Gibson pickup alternatives

[henry norton]

Does anyone know where I can get replacement pickups for a Gibson EB-3? I know DiMarzio do a neck replacement (unfortunately in black rather than a bright metal) but I'm completely stuck on the mini humbucker. Any ideas?

Aww come on! Surely Gibson basses aren't [i]that[/i] unpopular?

Erm, actually, they probably are! However, check out offerings from Artec in Japan. They certainly make some Gibson replacements.

Have you considered getting the pickup re-wound?
'm sure you could get what you want sound-wise, AND get to keep the shiny cover!
Speak to someone like Wizard Pickups for example.

I quite like the black of the Model One - it's kinda old school like the early EB pickups: [url="http://www.flyguitars.com/gibson/bass/1962gibsonEB0.php"]1962 Gibson EB0 Bass Guitar[/url]

Looks quite good in my Epi EB-0, imho.

I might be getting the Allparts neck one in a P bass, if someone buys some of my stuff for sale.
