It says 42 on the upper left hand corner. I don't know if it means gauge#42, if it does, then you can use it. The wire diameter is .063mm if I'm not mistaken. Are there any markings as to the type of insulation?

I had some like that, it looks like some poly solderon stuff, decent to wind with if you want that kind of tone. Should do good for a bass pickup.

Thanks for reply,yes it`s 42 H(heavy),but I can`t track the insulation code-which on this label I believe is----"THX/200".Once again thanks if anybody knows let me know please.
p.s-this is a great forum

Solderon, double build insulation (H, Assuming). Polyurathane Nylon. That was a good buy dude. This is ideal for bass pickups, welcome to the forum too
