If they're the same ones as come in the RC4 kit, and by the look of them they would be, then they are a 6 pole guitar pickup. The Gretsch pickup I linked to up a few has 6 poles as well, sold as a bass pickup, sounds good.

Must admit I haven't ripped the cover off, but it wouldn't surprise me if they are Guit pups... They sound a bit on the thin side...
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
that's what I assumed DB, wonder how far way the 4 strings are from the 6 poles

I theory it really shouldnt matter if there a four poles or six poles.
It all comes down to the magnet type, windings and gauge of wire used..
Personally I prefer a bar magnet type of pup for Bass, but six poles of the correct type etc will in essense function like a bar.

I'm so glad I started this thread! Thanks for all this great info. TV Jones look seriously good. Gretsch look great too. See how much cash I have left after I buy an ES1G kit and some Tonerider rebel 90s plus I'm building a speaker box with a greenback in it.
Busy and expensive December ahead!
