Anyone know what is under the hood on these? I am interested to see what the pup looks like.

Original or otherwise.

The current reproduction of Seth Lover's Fender humbucker bass design sounds really close to me, but I've not looked "under the hood" and that would be interesting to compare! They basically are a similar design to the bass humbuckers that Mr. Lover designed for Gibson.

These were darker sounding than the preceding single coil design therefore a .022 capacitor was specified instead of the usual .05 to brighten them up a tad.

Thanks for the info. I wonder if it is two '50's style pups side by side under there?

No, it is more like a P-bass or Mustang under the chrome cover. There are two separate bobbins, but each bobbin only focuses upon two strings. The winding wire is different and so are the poles from other Fender bass pickups.
