Can anyone identify this bass p/u ?

[oc disorder]

There is no info at all on it - it was sent to me to identify and I haven't a clue.
It seems to have a 3 screw mount similar to the Music Man stingray bass but the surround plate and adjustable
pole pieces seem to rule that out.

Thanks.

Possibly an old schaller pup.

Did it come out of a Carl Thompson bass? I've seen several of those from the late 70's. I'm pretty sure that they are Schallers though I would expect them to have two height adjustment screws on each side.

Thanks Waldo I can see why you're great !

I could only find this old advertisement from the Schaller site , possibly a guitar pickup as has 6 poles but looks identical to me.

And David, unfortunately there is no history on it , it's one of those found in the back of a cupboard , forgotten about ,covered in dust!

That ad definitely nails it. No one would recreate the pickup ring mold if they didn't have to. It's very distinctive.
