Again: Can a Bass Guitar Mag Pickup be used on a 4-stringer CBG with good results?

Hi All...


I have been wondering if I can use the 4-string magnetic pickups
designed for a Bass Guitar on a 4-stringer Cigar Box Guitar?  Would it
produce the same quality sound as for a 6-string guitar mag pickup?  Or,
is it designed to produce a lower bass range signal? I'm not looking to
make a Cigar Box Bass. Here's a link to something on E-Bay like what
I'm talking about: E-Bay Link



This one seemed reasonably priced.

-Rand.
