Pickup dimensions for SB/AE1?
« on: December 08, 2007, 10:26:06 PM »
Hi,
New to the group, long-time FB2 owner (I use it primarily for my Stick, works beautifully).
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.
Thanks and cheers

Check out this thread, where Mica says SB sets use regular humbucker-sized pickups, but the wiring is made for the Steinberger basses with extra-long wiring. and They are about 1-1/2 by 2-5/8 inches, a direct retrofit size for humbuckers. So if the EMG Selects are drop-in replacements for Steinbergers too, they should fit.

Thanks Adriaan!! I did save this thread to run a search, but just had not made the time to do it.
