Don't know if this is legit or not but if it is it will be the deal of the year for certain. Westone Rail Bass for $25 YES 25 BUCKS.

Hasn't this been posted before? Or was that on the Westone forum and I'm getting mixed up? Either way, I'm pretty sure I said that the guy is a moron. He definitely still is. I doubt somebody is going to want to ship one when they're only asking $25, so hopefully someone lives nearby and can save it.

Is that a Carvin pickup?

The picture sucks, so I can't say for sure, but the black finish comes off of the stock Magnaflux RBs very easily and they are white underneath.

I was wondering because it looked like what Carvin uses (12 polepiece humbucker).

Actually the Carvin Pickups have 11 pole pieces per coil, 6 for the strings, and 5 for the spaces in between. Humbucking is called the C22. Bill Lawrence has been making a 'Blade' type pickup since the late 70's. I agree that it looks like someone put a guitar pickup on there though, also agree that its a tiny tiny pic that little, if any, detail can be garnered from.

$25 sounds so cheap, I can't believe it's still available after almost a month...
