No idea what they are worth, being honest... I remember asking a long time back but didn't get a clear response... Don't tend to see them come up here too frequently... If it was an "unknown" source I was hoping for a steal... :o

Your selling the Cassidy bits too...?

Gibson never offered them separately. If they had, they wouldn't have been inexpensive, considering what other Gibson pickups cost. These are certainly worth at least the minimum bid. And the pickups wouldn't have to travel out of the country.  :)

Yup the entire harness and pickup assy from my Casady is up for grabs as I'm swapping the pickup for a reproduction Bisonic pickup.

I bought the Thunderbird pickups for a guy who had removed them from a Thunderbird. I had them in the Jazz bass I posted about here.

It is. I'm only selling in the UK, so that might be throwing it?
