sixties TBird pickup...

Offered "as is".
Pic of backside shows no leads. Might be worth a shot?

[godofthunder]

Definatley worth watching !

[the mojo hobo]

I was hoping no one would notice. He posted the second pic in response to my questioning if it had any wires attached.

[godofthunder]

I'll back off hope you get it !

[Bionic-Joe]

Sorry, I already bid on it!!!

[hollowbody]

Yeah, I put in the first bid on this one. And i will bid again...

[Denis]

Haha, I was watching that one too! I won't bid though since you guys probably want it more than I need it.

I had a guy on Talkbass ask me about those too, I'd just buy some Lulls - exact same pickup. 

[Nocturnal]

My question was about the wires as well, which he said there weren't any. I'm going to stay out of it. I have enough going on already.

[Bionic-Joe]

F@#CK!!!!!! I got outbid!!!!!!!!! damn it!!! And Mark...You told me the Lull's are NOT the same size. wassup wit dat??

He probably meant they're not the same height, but they have the same length and size.

Sorry, Joe.

The wires looked fine to me.  The two wires normally run out of the casing and into a braided lead which is soldered to the back of the casing.  I guess I'll find out if it works in a couple of days...  in the meantime, buy some stuff from me so I can pay for it!!

Joe,

Lulls are the same size as Gibsons same everything as Gibsons, I don't know how many ways to say this THEY ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS A '60s GIBSON PICKUP. Every part of a Lull pickup is exactly the same in every way. The only difference is that the originals are Nickel plated, Lull's are Chrome.
The Orville pickups you're fond of look like these at first glance but they are in fact nothing at all like an original '60s Gibson, the dimension of the Chrome covers are different and the pickups themselves look virtually like contemporary TB plus with twin coils, nothing at all like the original.

I'll be up to Mike's in about two weeks to get a pup for my BaCH, I'll shoot some pics of these as comparison for you guys.

That was a lot of dough to pay for a (possibly) dead pickup.  I would have saved my $$ and bought a Lull pickup.

[hollowbody]

I'll find out soon enough, I guess.  I do know a guy who does rewinds.  He did a busted Ripper pickup for me and it turned out excellent.
