    2-screw jazz pickup covers

    I’ve been trying to Google this to no avail, does anybody know a company that makes or sells jazz bass pickup covers with two screw holes (one on each end of the pickup), instead of the standard 4-screw arrangement? Thanks in advance.

    the true purpose of pickup covers…

    PICKING!!! seriously, how do you people use picks without pickup covers? i can only get my hand near the bridge without one and the sound is all stringy and twangy, which isn’t my style. for reference about what i’m talking about, just picture that gif of keith richards playing sympathy for the...

    how do you people manage to pick without pickup covers?

    maybe i’m just a lazy person but seriously, i could just not get down with hand hovering with the pick on the front pickup. it just hurt after a while and eventually my hand felt inclined to put itself down somewhere. so then entered pickup covers (yes, THOSE pick up covers) and now suddenly...

    Pickup covers seem to be wrong size. Jazz vs. Precision

    Recently, I purchased pick up covers for my fender jazz bass. The covers are fine. I now have a precision and the top pick up cover I purchased for the jazz seem too small for the precision. My question is, are they different sizes? Perplexing. Steve

    Non-Standard Pickup Size Swap

    I've got a bass with non-standard pickup sizes in it. I could get into details, but I'm curious to see what ideas you guys have had to mount standard sizes in non-standard routs. The obvious thought is to rout out the hole for the new size, but in my case, the holes are already oversized. So...

    Aged White Covers for Vintera Mustang Bass Pickups

    I'm not having any luck searching for white pickup covers for my 60s style Mustang bass. Any insight from this expert group? I would love to find white (or more like aged, cream, parchment, etc.), instead of the standard black for these little round pickups. I'm replacing my stock pearl scratch...

    Pickup Covers?

    I just wanted to know why the earlier Fender Jazz basses had covers over the pickups/bridge. are there any disadvantages or advantages in having the metal plates over the pickups? or were there just placed there for appearance?

    Design vote: Cream or black

    Picked up a '64 P that's had all the parts changed and wrong things done to it but I have a soft spot for vintage and thought it'd be a fun project. Kinda torn here -- which covers? Not painting the body/ headstock for now. Carrots are assumed to be first choice and therefore excluded from the...

    PJ basses, with covers.

    you don't see a lot of PJ basses with vintage ashtrays and pickup covers, anyone got some pics? I've grown pretty dependent on my covers as hand rests, and am considering adding a Jazz pickup to my vintage styled P.... I keep flipflopping if I think it will look dumb.

    Do 5-string P-bass ashtray covers exist?

    I've got a 2008 American Standard Precision V that I absolutely adore, but I really like the look of ashtrays on P-basses (both the bridge and pickup covers) and wanted to give them a test run to see if they'd work with my playing style, but as anyone who's been in this position before will...

    Fender-sized precision pup covers

    Hello everyone! So I recently got a used Squier cv precision that came with an original Fender gold anodised pickguard and some EMG p pickups. I wanted to replace the pups with a SD SPB-1, but have discovered that it won't fit into the pickguard! Upon inspection, the EMG's seem to be just a tad...

    Question about P/J pickup covers

    . Okay, so this may sound a bit silly, but I'm thinking about switching my exposed-pole pickup covers to closed covers, strictly for cosmetic purposes. I know that with guitar pickup covers, which are metal, there is a tonal difference due to the introduction of eddy currents, but the covers...

    How do you remove pickup covers?

    I bought a Precision style bass and I wanted to change the pickup covers (they're black, and I wanted white). After I disassembled the bass, I thought they would be easy to remove, but I couldn't. Is there a trick or tip I can use? Maybe I'm just not using enough force?

    Pickup covers material?
