A replacement pickup for an Ibanez Roadster RS-900

Problem is, there are several Bart soapbars with proportions that are almost the same but have different measurements. For example the BB4CBC-B mentioned above is 3.46" x 1.42" while their T4CBC-B ("old Thunderbird") is 3.63" x 1.55" and their M4 series are 3.5" x 1.5". Any of them would work visually but I wouldn't want to order one assuming it's a drop-in fit without measuring first.

Well, I had one of those Chinese Thunderbird pickups floating around and finally managed to do an upgrade. Fits in perfectly and sounds great too.  Vol and tone and a dummy pot for blocking a hole.

Cool! 

Is that a mirror pickguard? Was that aftermarket or came that way? Don't see those much...

Mirror and aftermarket custom job. Because of...


It did turn out a bit more of a P-bass shape (On Philip's bass it spreads out more to the side) but looks fine so I left it like that.

That looks similar to what I did on my first 8 string (Warmoth neck, Mighty Mite body). Put a single EMG 35DC in the "sweet spot". Terrible pic, but it's all I could find.
