Hello,

I've been tinkering with various pickup sets on my fretless 5-string Thumb NT, and I've found the ones I love. In the process, I've tested a heap of pickups that I'm looking to sell.

Technically they'd fit any 5-string Warwick with J routs, but two of the sets have open magnets, so I don't want to sell you sets that might not work well with your instrument.

SET:: Seymour Duncan Basslines AJB-5 Active Bridge Pickup, x2
CONDITION: Heavily used, worn Basslines logos with string scratches
WORKS WITH: Any 5-string Warwick with Jazz routs

SET: EMG LJAX x2
CONDITION: Almost new, but I took a soldering iron to the back corners to round them out to fit in my Buzzard, so the back corners look worn down. Spent a week on the bass. I don't have any of the quick connectors but I will send them with whatever I have that you want

SET: DiMarzio Ultra Jazz Neck Pickup with flush magnets x2
CONDITION: Almost new
WORKS WITH: Open magnets fit a 5-string Thumb bass perfectly

SET: DiMarzio Area J Neck Pickup x2
CONDITION: Almost new
WORKS WITH: Open magnets fit a 5-string Thumb bass perfectly

I also have several preamps for sale:

Delano Sonar 2-band/4-knob

EMG 2-band/3-knob
Notes: Comes with EMG knobs

Seymour Duncan STC-3A
Notes: with toggle switch for slap contour, stacked vol/blend with bypass push/pull, missing 100k/100k stack for bass/treble (i.e. buy a 100k/100k stack for 3-knob/1-switch operation, or separate 100k pots for 4-knob/1-switch operation)

MEC 2-band/3-knob
Notes: I believe this is intact, I'll have to double check, I can include knobs if I have the ones you want

These preamps may or may not have battery clips - I'm writing this post off memory. Pictures of everything upon request.

I'm going to keep this list up for a week, and then toss it on eBay with links.

For simplicity, each item is $65, including shipping to North America. PM me if you want to work out a deal for more than one item. Semi-willing to ship to Europe.
 
How much for the Seymour Duncan Basslines AJB-5?

Shipping to US zip 37203

I was thinking $65 for each set/preamp shipped to North America. That works out to just under $50 for a pickup set or preamp without the shipping.
 
Duncan AJB-5 set officially sold.

What's left:

Going to put these on eBay this week - anybody else want anything here? Schlo?

I shipped some of the items to Western Europe so that isn't a problem.
 
interested in mec 2 band and ljaxes (pic pls of the corners:)
 
Sure, I'll post pics of the entire assemblies tonight.

The pickup corners look pretty gnarly, but as you can see, they're fine from the front. I didn't have sandpaper handy so I rounded the corners with a soldering iron - if you sand the corners they look a LOT better. I just wanted to get it working first, and at the time the install was so haphazard on my part I just gave up.

The preamp assembly is quite clean and was just de-attached at the jack.
