Any ideas what this pickup is? It came with an old battered laminate bass that has now been sold - I'll be looking to move it on if I can identify it. 🤔

Most likely an Underwood. It's an old design, they've made them since the 70s, but people still like them. There's a similar looking Shadow from Germany, but I've only seen those with moulded jacks, not metal ones.

Looks like Underwood, quite an old one. may have once had a foil covered rubber sleeve around the metal socket with the branding on it.  F it is, they're Quite expensive new.  £180 to £200.  Used one on reverb for £165.

 

Not a shadow anyway. I have a 30yr old shadow one ( no longer used ) and that terminates in a 3.5mm plug with a metal adapter to take a normal 1/4" guitar lead, also no serial number on the piezos. 

 

I'm not keen on them ( too "clacky" and hard to get the pressure on the piezos just right) but some people really like them.
