Want vintage DiMarzio P bass cream PUs
 
For a circa 1983 Mockingbird project that is missing two sets of them that I am working on.
 
Shown here with it now has on it (Barts).

I will try to refrain from asking why you would want to pull those lovely Barts for D'irtMarzios.
 
Oops, I failed.....

Well what if someone only has one set ? Do you care if they come from different sources ?   I may have one set on a Bass . I was looking to put an Alembic P set in and take out the DI Marzio's at some point . I will see what the fair market price is . Best case scenario for me of course would be to trade for the Alembic PU's  ! LOL !!!

I'm a fan of dimarzios in passive basses over Bart's, Bart's just sound kind of flat to me unless they have a preamp

You folks are amazing!  
 
I do like Barts (a lot) but want to return this bass to stock, which means old Dimarzios. I think the originals were called PAF Dimarzios.  
 
I don't care if they come from 2 sources. I will be selling these vintage Barts too (trade?). They are road worn and I expect they are old, but they sound great. I think they stick up a little taller than the original pups though.
 
Here is a photo I downloaded (apologies to the uploader) from the web showing the back of the pickups from an original bass. I don?t remember those stickers on my BC Rich, however.

Here is another shot. It looks like the Dimarzios are 4 seperate wire setups, so that they interface with the electronics of the bass.

Turns out, I also have a set of these with the Patent Applied For stickers. Hit my contact if you need another set.

Gregory sent me a set of correct PUs for the Mockingbird and they are sounding great!!! (thanks so much!)
 
Now I just need one more set! The right DiMarzio PAFs really make the sound of this bass come alive!

Do you still need a set? These could use some new covers.The DCr reads 5.69 and 5.65k ohms.
