First question: Recently bought a pair of 58/15 pickups that I'm going to swap into a Cu24 that has 85/15s.
One of the pickups is simply labeled 5815 LT on the baseplate. I'm assuming this is the bridge pickup.
The other is labeled 5815 LT "V" Bass. So, the neck pickup; however, I've not seen or heard of the "V" designation before. Anyone know what this means? "Vintage" - or something else? EDIT: perhaps means a 58/15 neck pickup with an Alnico V magnet?
Second question: I saw a post in another thread (might have been in another forum) that suggested that the 58/15 and 85/15 pickups were identical except for the covers and the magnets. Anyone able to confirm or deny, and if this is true, which magnets are used in each?
TIA.
