Help to identify pickups

Hello everyone, greetings from Chile

I introduce myself, I am a amateur bass player, and I have 29 years. I live in Santiago de Chile


I write because I have a big doubt. Buy a very cheap bass guitar, around about $ 80, made by Freeman (China). For the price did not expect anything spectacular, but when connected to my Laney Rb8...

OMG!

Sounds spectacular, with many definitions, excellent treble, I have an OLP MM2 to compare and sounds even better.

Reviewing in detail, even the strings are the most economical, the only thing strange is the pickup. Has no logo or sign to identify the manufacturer. All you have are some letters on one side that says "JB-F "

If you notice carefully in its construction, the suspension is spring-loaded, has waxpoting, and I'm very quiet (the instrument is not shielded)

I suspect that may be of a bassline, Vintage series.

I think the two capsules can be Basslines, but different models. They are of the same type

Can you help identify at least the manufacturer?

Re: Help to identify pickups

That's just a regular stock pickup, made wherever the bass was made. (China?)

I've found that a lot of cheap basses have decent stock pickups actually. Out of all the bass guitars I've owned, I've only replaced pickups twice.

It's nice that you found a bass with pickups you like, however I don't think it is a Duncan. I also don't think anyone will be able to identify the manufacturer.
