Replacement Pups for Peavey Millennium BXP 5

[David Canady]

I've looked everywhere for the full specs, measurements and replacement options for these passive pickups. They measure a little smaller than Fender and I haven't found a site that says their gear "is a replacement for" Peavey pickups. Here is what Peavey provides:
Construction: Single coil, steel polepiece, 8k dc.
Magnet Type: Ceramic 5 bar.
Description: Medium output, frequency tailored for neck position. Harmonically positioned to enhance low end and retain presence and clarity. Fully shielded hookup wire.

If you know of a link, please share your knowledge. Thanks!

Why not buy a neck and bridge jazz bass pickup cover and see what fits the holes.
Most of the import basses use the same size for both, usually the bridge size.
they do it to reduce cost and inventory.

These pups are a different size but I think my bridge is the common neck size and my neck is even smaller (Peavey's custom string spacing?). I may only be able to upgrade the bridge. I'll know more Fri. My buddy is bringing "parts" over to see what we can do.

I promise you won't have any problem finding stock pickups to fit your bass.
I was a Peavey dealer for 26 years and Peavey does not do anything proprietary on these import basses like they did the Original USA Millennium, Cirrus, etc.
There is no custom spacing here, pretty much off the shelf import parts.
These basses, like Squire and every other import in this price range are made to be modified.
Have fun exploring, that's part of being a bass player.

Traditional jazz bass pickups differ in size due to spacing. I would imagine the Peavey uses bar magnets under the cover, that's usually the case so the pickups can be used in a lot of different basses from various manufacturers and not worry about spacing.

These custom wound pups fit the holes but the ears for bridge pu screws were off about 1/8". Had to do some very minor trim with my Dremel. I now have passive pups but with the power of active. My friend who made them for me said he could make a preamp to fit in the back cavity if I wanted one. I'm not sure I do. They really sound nice.
Separate poles using Neodyne magnets and 10,000 winds.

(many years later) - update -

I modded my Peavey to fit Fender Am Jazz 5 string pickups (different size bridge and neck).

I used a rat tail file and some elbow grease. The neck pu cavity fits without mods. The bridge pu cavity needed a bit of filing at the outer screw hole routes.

Threw a couple of old school Tesla pickups in, and it's sounds great!

I dig this bass - it's one of my lightest 5ers. Great neck, 21 frets, good balance - great gig jazz bass
