I've seen a set of Activators with this model number on Ebay, and am wondering what the dimensions of these pickups are. I've got a question in to the owner of the auction, but thought I'd try this forum too. I'm hoping that they'd be a drop-in replacement for the EMG Selects in my Hohner B2A fretless. If a little routing is necessary, I can do that too, although I'd rather not if I don't have to.

So if the EMG Selects are drop-in replacements for Steinbergers too, they should fit. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 5773 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, December 10, 2007 - 7:52 pm:    Thanks Adriaan!! I did save this thread to run a search, but just had not made the time to do it.
