Wilkinson MM 5 string pickup

[ibanez2005]

Found this on E-bay -
eBay: Wilkinson Lic Pickup for 5 String Musicman Bass (item 140068032674 end time Jan-01-07 16:59:33 PST)

Just wondered if anyone has any experience of them as finding a genuine MM pickup might be a bit difficult.
Any help would be appreciated guys. Cheers.

How about this

Can customer support not provide a genuine MM pup?

 

[oldbluebassman]

Obviously my eBay ad isn't clear enough. It is a genuine MM pick-up.

 

[ibanez2005]

sh*t
Cheers for that Oldbluebassman.

 

[ibanez2005]

I wont need it until ive sorted whether im gonna get a new body made for my SUB5.
And i was told that EBMM dont supply spares.

 

[oldbluebassman]

Fine. I'm just letting it sit in my eBay store until someone buys it. Good luck with your project.

Your ad is crystal clear obbm. However, there are those who don't trust ebay due to bad experiences. Or, it may be the old story that someone beats you to the 'buy it now' button. PLUS, I'm not daft.

 

[ibanez2005]

Cheers mate. I dunno for definite if ill do it yet, do you know if that pickup will fit into a SUB5 without any mods?

 

[Big Poppa]

im daft..it is easier.

 

[Hutton]

Sorry obbm. I am daft just like BP. I see that it's yourself that is selling the pup.

Maybe we could get a gig in a pub....."Now Appearing Tonight (we hope) THE DAFT BROTHERS!"

That's funny... but I have a hard time laughing for too long... it reminds me of one of the bands I'm in. Perfect name for them.

So whats the sad story regarding the rest of that bass? Fire, flood, or locusts destroy it?

The only sad story is that I can't get an original 3-coil SR5 pick-up. I have an SR5 that was fitted with a Bartolini when I bought it from a guy in NYC. I loved the bass but hated the sound of the Bart. After much searching I eventually got this from someone who had taken it from an SR5. In the mean time I found a 3-coil pick-up that sounded OK. That will stay until I can find the real deal.

Question:

How do you know that you have turned daft?

Answer:

When you volunteer to bring beers to a pub.

 

[ibanez2005]

That is so true.

 

[adouglas]

That is so true.

You speak from experience?

Sorry man! I thought that if the gig was on good old USA soil then I would have to bring some decent beer.

I'm still daft of course.
