Sorry for the late reply, didn't notice this question until now. The pickups are stock. I recorded the bass directly into the camcorder and I probably rolled the tone knob back a bit to fatten it up.
They weren't, all the Smiths bass lines were written by Andy Rourke. He said that he "always tried to write a song inside a song with the basslines" and I think he did just that. Check out the book 'Songs that saved your life' if you don't believe me.
I notice andy rourke such as I notice michael dempsey or matt freeman... i wish to learn to play as well as them. Thanx for this video

Nice playing! How did you get such a fat tone? Are those custome pick ups?

I would so like a tab on this brilliant masterpiece, since I'm not good enough to tab it out myself :(

This a brilliant bass line and you did a great job covering it. So many cool parts and little details, like the chords, that you really nailed!

excellent, well done mate. Andy Rourke is probably the most overlooked bassist that I know of.
