2 sets of jazz pickups I need help identifying

[Tom Matthews]

I got 2 sets of jazz bass pickups that I’m commissioning for a client and I can’t find out anything about them. I was hoping someone here would have some more info. Here are the pics of the 2 different sets attached below

No marks, stickers, labels, or other info anywhere on either one? Colored dots? Anything at all?

Those are pretty much the two most common "generic Jazz single coil" formats, there have probably been dozens of brands that have made pickups like that. Or, many hundreds or thousands if you include small time makers.

Nope, no kind of markings whatsoever

The ones with bar magnets on the bottom are probably cheap generic pickups like used in inexpensive off brand basses. The ones on the right may be better quality alnico pickups.

One last observation. It is weird their is no solder where the wires connect on the better looking pickups

"commissioning"? i don't know what that means

either way +1 to @LoveThatBass, the ones with the big ceramic bar magnets on the bottom are likely low budget cheapies pulled out of a beginner-grade bass, the other ones look like any number of classic vintage-fender construction pickups with fiber bobbin plates and alnico rod magnets

Looks like two generic pickup sets. One closer to 'vintage' specs and the other more modern. I wouldn't write off the ceramic set as in any way inferior tonally until trying them in the candidate bass.

The set with the alnico poles and cloth hookup could be slightly upmarket Artec, or anything beyond that! Odd that they are completely unbranded as even OEM pickups in cheap basses have some markings.
