Just emailed the guy about his Univox bass

Agreed, the pickups in mine are really not that great.  That's why I bought a pair of the Gretsch Filtertron pickups...they're smaller than the OEM ones, but they should work OK.  As far as I can tell, they're rail types so matching pole pieces to strings doesn't matter.

I just have so much going on that I haven't messed with them. I've figured out how I can mount them temporarily in the original pickup surrounds, than I can have new surrounds custom made if they work out OK.

bought a pair also after seeing your older thread.  I have about 5 or 6 univoxs in some sort of restoration  - so i will find a home for them.    on the weak side if i remember right.  6-7K each.. also six screws on the bottom so maybe guitar pickups???


a few years ago i was able to get some NOS mosrite pups off feebay.  Not sure they were NOS as he claimed they were hotter but they were in mosrite covers.  one was a HB for the single pup basses.    I can't wait to give them a try also.
