Anyone have a suggestion for replacement pups that fit the dimensions of the super ferrite? Thanks!

Afraid I've VFL in my Foundation 5 but Peavey were notorious for using the same pickups on 4's & 5's.
With a router and pickup rings you could make any pickups fit.

@Willzilla

There is another method that I should have mentioned. A while back I swapped the pickup in a European release Grind,really awkward size things. I bought a couple of wooden pickup covers then popped the bobbins out of the replacement pickups. There's a couple of photos so you get a rough idea.

I forgot to mention the Zephyr was a 5 string bass but the pickups I put in were for a 4 string bass. Worked a treat :D
