"I believe this is from a 1982 Stingray and it MAY be pre-Ernie Ball! In any case, it has the coveted alnico pole pieces. "

"I guarantee this pickup to be original and ready for installation. Remember, these pickups MUST be used with a preamp and cannot be used in a passive setup."

Someone put the record straight please.

I've only had one SR5 pickup in my hands but that one looks nothing like the one I saw.

It looks a lot like the one in my 2005 SR5. Maybe Gav will put the whangus on it.

"and 3 springy things"



need i say more.

 

[Psychicpet]

is it a SUB5 p/u or more likely an OLP 5?

 

[Psychicpet]

actually, the OLPs look different, I take that back.

That's an auction from Bob at the Bass Palace (in PA)

I bought the 4-string pickup he had, and I think he got careless copying the text. Most of that text in the 5-string pickup is copied from the other one. I'm guessing he copied it then forgot to change it.

He's usually pretty good with most stuff, but this looks like one that got away...!

An 82 StingRay????

If i'm correct, they didn't produce the SR5 until 1987.

:sigh:

Sure... once again there's no match between the description and the item from Bob at the Bass Palace. I've been badly burned by this guy. STAY AWAY or tripple check any transaction before you pay 1 cent.
