Single coil 51 id

[paddy109]

I was sifting through my bass cave today and found a single coil and don't have a recollection where I collected this. Can anyone tell me what make it is? I am fairly sure it won't be high class as I've never spent loads on pickups. Cloth covered cable and A string pole slightly raised.

wild stab in the dark but possibly a creamery pickups classic 52 tele? https://www.creamery-pickups.co.uk/classic-52-tele-precision-p-bass-pickups.html

Thanks for this. Can't imagine I paid that much.

Possibly a Retrovibe Route '51 (£32)? Looks similar but the string winding on yours fills the bobbin more.

It's not. If you look your pup has one hole in the top. The retrovibe has 3!

The cheapest Duncan , SCPB-1 , has just 1 hole and the raised pole for A. Same for Bloodstone Guitar Works, Dave's 51-54 Precision/Tele is a 1 hole bobbin, staggered poles being optional.

Also the Retrovibe has the D string pole raised slightly too, less than the A string pole, but definitely slightly raised compared to the low E and High G pole.
