I just buy a couple of old bass pickup, very similar like on my elan 4, and need to know your opinion is it possible that this fatboy is a alembic pickup? Here is some pictures Thanks a lot! mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 7950 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Wednesday, April 03, 2013 - 5:01 pm:    I don't think those are Alembic pickups. fc_spoiler Senior Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 1439 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Wednesday, April 03, 2013 - 5:39 pm:    Does the top follow fingerboard radius? Could be Aria pro II pickups (from the SB series) (Message edited by fc_spoiler on April 03, 2013) deks New Username: deks Post Number: 4 Registered: 12-2012 Posted on Thursday, April 04, 2013 - 1:13 pm:    Hi Mica! All measurement on this pickup is same like on Alembic pickup(BxWxT)and they have same curvature,on the top no radius it is flat no see any differences, and a hole for screw is at same distance. As I can measure on Om-meter one pickup have a two spool of wire and each spool have 1.8 KOhm, they are put together in parallel mode and output from pickup is only .8 KOhm so I am asking my self is this some old series of alembic pickup, because no any kind of Alembic copies with a same dimensions and curvatures on net, or maybe it's pickup is a result cooperation with Mr.Arai?
