No pics, no bass

There's one of these for sale in the classifieds. Kinda funny how you're thread appeared shortly after the for sale thread appeared. It's amused me anyway.

Ha! Let me know if you find one - apparently the one on the Grabber bass is the same...

Another ET-280 owner! Welcome to the forum.

Ped - the Grabber pickup looks to be quite different. The ET-280 has chromed covers with small exposed pole pieces and the Grabber looks to be a black soapbar-ish design. Anyway, good luck with the hunt crowman.

Hi Musky,

Yeah, for some reason I was thinking of the bridge cover, not the pickup cover. I only realised when I called Crowman last night. Cheers

Does anyone know if these Gibson Pickups will fit into my Epiphone ET-280 Bass? I wanted to get some Gibson EB3 clones so I was wondering if you all think if this would work.

Is it possible to mod the bass so these pickups fit?The Epiphone ET-280's Bridge pickup has the following specs:

Pickup base measures 2 and 21/32" x 1 and 3/32 inches wide. Bottom of the pickup includes two ears that are 3 and 3/16 inches apart.

But my Bass's current bridge pickups measure: 1 1/2" x 4 1'4"

Also the neck input measures: 2 1/2" x 4 1/2"

and the All Parts pickups are: 3-1/2" x 2-1/16" x 1-1/8" tall. 5/8" pole piece spacing.

Thanks for your help!
