    Why do we never see these (other than the Lakland Jerry Scheff)? These are great pickups - I had them in my Stambaugh bass years ago before I traded it away (it sucks trading a custom but it turned out the neck was just too slim for me - should have had it made wider from the get-go). Here's...
