Comment by the anonymous pick on July 6, 2014 at 10:47am: yeah these are higher than strat pups .

gitty has some fatter mini hummers .. might be what you're lookin for .

Comment by Where's Uranus? on July 6, 2014 at 10:45am: I was looking at using the gold foil bass pup temporarily, but it's not single piece construction.

Comment by Where's Uranus? on July 6, 2014 at 10:42am: I'd do that, if there was one anywhere near, one mans trash and all that, I could make some interesting mutants.

No matter, I was hoping for something lower than a regular strat pup, not as flat as the Viennese Flat Pups, are those P90 style soapbars lowish? AFAIK they just have the screws for the pole pieces poking out belw the base plate, ideally somethng about 10 - 12mm high at most.
