They look like some EMG JVX's (you can see the poles) - Those are awesome pickups very different from the 80's EMG. I am considering buying some for my jazz bass. Bobby Vega does a cool demo on Youtube.

Bobby Vega helped design those pickups. They are killer. I sat with him in discussion on them on his basses. Got to hold all his 60's basses and I tell you, they are heavy as hell. Good guy, KILLER player. He works up at EMG Headquarters 90 min from me.

Seems pricey for a used production CS bass.

just recieved a respond email from seller,seems like a nice guy,he said he ordered the bass special for himself thru a music store,and when it arrived the owner of the music store suggested he replace the fender stock pups with the emgs,i agree the video with bobby vega and the pups sound great,man,can he use a pick!

Pretty good businessman this store owner! He sells a 5K bass to a customer and intelligently practices incremental selling ("I recommand...") to get another $179 of revenue...I should hire him for my business...

Regarding Bobby Vega, I saw him play live once and I was blown away. He is a great guy too. Now, he replaced Rocco in Tower of Power when he had all those health issues but Bobby's sound in my opinion lacks a little bit of "meat" to sub Rocco... But is it even possible to successfully sub Rocco? Just my 2 cents.
