Not surprising given that they have been out of production for a while with only rumors of a return...

Guess I waited too long, too.
I was gonna put one on my Epi EB-0, but it's getting harder to justify spending even more money on a bass that cost me $100.

Here's an EB-0 pickup replacement that I heard about recently. Still pretty expensive, but not as high as $600+ dollars!

I've considered getting on of these so I can make my '69 EB-0 worth playing instead of selling it.
