I have had this Bass since 1980 and it is all original except for the pickups (I have the originals) in 1982 I installed EMG's and the sound produced went greatly increased. My question is what will the original pickups sound like now that they have sat for almost 30 years. Will sitting for that amount of tiem hurt them or make them better? The EMG's are still rocking after 29 years and I have never had a problem with them. My local Guitar Center has assesed this to be 2800 in price. I paid 395 for it.

Welcome!

In context of your question, sitting on those original pickups will have no affect on them either way.

Hang onto the bass and the pickups because as you've found out, the value shall continue to increase!
