Vintage P-bass pickups

[buzzardneck]

I have recently stumbled accross a set of vintage p-bass pickups that I had removed from the bass the day that I purchased it. They look brand new like the day I bought the guitar, no scratches, rust or corrosion. The foam on the plate is dry-rotted, that's about the only flaw. I traded the guitar in about 15 years ago, stupid me! Number stamped on the back indicates they were made in 1977. Any idea what these pickups may be worth?

Hey buzzardneck,

I would say the pickups will sell somewhere in the neighborhood of $200. I did a quick check of completed auctions on eBay and found 2 late 70's pickup sets that had sold for $145 and $200 respectively. There is another set someone is asking $275 for but apparently no one is will to pay that much.

Too bad your pups are not from the 1960's, we would be talkin' $500.
