I bought a 74 - 75 BC Rich Seagull without any parts. It calls for Bartolini Hi A humbuckers that are only 2 - 3/4" wide + bezel. I have a pair that are 3" wide with really cool wooden bezels that I can trade or cash will work too!

Hi Brock, welcome to the board!

Cool bass, good luck with the restoration.
Hi-A pickups sound great. Wonderful clarity and detail.

Thanks Andrew! Being that my love for particular axes (brands & models) is shared here, I do feel welcome

Please let me know if I cross any lines. I need parts & my friend needs lefthanded basses in his book.

I can share an article I wrote for the BCRich Players Forum on reversing Grover Titans & that the Schaller version is NOT reversible at all....

Go for it!

Not crossing any lines, that's what this forum is here for! It's tough enough finding lefty basses and info, hopefully this place can make things a bit easier for us all. There's some really knowledgeable guys here on all things lefty bass.

Are those the pickups that Jeff Berlin has on his bass?

Not a current bass. Hi A pickups were made by Bartolini, I believe before the namesake company.

Story goes Bill Bartolini started his line of pickups in the 70s as Hi-A but the factory burned down in 1978.
When he regrouped, the company & pickups were forever more called Bartolini. I am not aware of anything
made after Bill's regroup that will properly fit in this bass - certainly nothing in his current lineup will do.

It's a restoration on a rare bass - so correct parts (at least that mount as original for now) are a must!!!!!
Rerouting for the wider Hi - As that I have (although period correct) doesn't even seem fair to this bass.
