They're for a $195 BIN here http://cgi.ebay.com/ALEMBIC-PICKUP-PICKUPS-for-Bass-Guitar-PAIR-Look_W0QQitemZ7367717888QQcategoryZ22670QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem valvil Moderator Username: valvil Post Number: 792 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Monday, November 21, 2005 - 4:15 pm:    Can't tell from that picture; they could be Series pickups, or they could be AXYs. A picture of the back of the pickups MIGHT show what kind they are.

If they're AXY's, do they match well with the Series I? Or is that one of those "who knows" questions? mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 2826 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Tuesday, November 22, 2005 - 10:08 am:    AXYs will function well, but they don't sound like the normal single coil pickup, largely because the AXY has half the magnetic aperture as the SC-1. BTW, we sell cosmetic second pickups at half the retail price, so a pair of "comso" AXYs from us would run $130 at this time. We don't always have them available, but I know there's at least one pair right now. jigme Junior Username: jigme Post Number: 30 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Wednesday, November 23, 2005 - 1:51 pm:    Thanks Mica! Thats less than what the eBay seller wants. I think I'll stay with my original pups.
