    I'm not Rod, although I did play him once in a Made-For-TV movie about wombats eating Mel Gibson's head, but I'd say those are....humbuckers.

    Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week.

    Sabre PUPs....

    The neck PUP (on the left in pic below) is similar to the Fender J Bass PUPs.

    The PUP on the right is actually from a 'Ray. The Sabre bridge PUP is similar to it but slightly smaller. Both Sabre PUPs are the same size.

    Not sure I'm with you?

    The pic above is the underside views only. The top view of the PUPs is as in the pic below.

    I think he's mostly asking about the exposed versus non-exposed pole pieces.
