vintage bass pick ups

Hello
I was hoping someone could give me some advice regarding as to whether Seymour Duncan makes vintage sound alike pickups that would fit the following cheap bass guitars:

a cheaper version of the hofner "cavern" violin bass guitar, so that it sounds like their expensive reissue retro model.

Also
I was wondering if Seymour Duncan make single coil pick ups that would fit cheap semi-acoustic bass guitars, that will make the semi acoustic bass guitars
sound more like the semi-acoustic bass guitars used in the early to mid 60s.

bellow is an example of a cheap semi-acoustic bass guitar, that possibly may sound better or more 60s authentic if fitted with vintage single coil pickups, as found on early semi-acoustic electric bass guitars from the era, including burns style pickups.

Welcome ghostdzog!
I bump your thread up, but you are better off in The Bassment section, me thinks.

I don't know if there are any production bass pickups for what you want, but the Custom Shop will make you just about anything if you can pay for it.

I don't see any production pickups that would work. The Custom Shop can and will build the best pickups you'd ever want in those instruments, but it is up to you if you want to spend that much making cheaper basses sound better. I am not aware of any pickup company that has those sizes among their stock models- just not popular enough these days, I think.
