Covers for a Fender Precision 5 string

Sign in to disble this ad
I tried searching but couldn't find anything...

Is there anyone making pickup and bridge covers that will fit a Fender American Precision V?

I just picked up a beautiful 5-string funk machine and I really want some covers for it. I'd assume it would have to be some sort of custom job, but I don't know where to turn.

Anyone? I can't be the only one who wants a 5-string version of the Funk Machine.

Interestingly, I took the covers off of my jazz to compare and the bridge cover actually fits! So I would think a P bridge cover might fit too.

No such luck with the pickup cover though...

Unfortunately, the 4-string P bridge cover does not fit a 5-string bridge, and nobody makes a 5-string P bridge cover--not even as a custom order, as far as i have been able to find.

I idly looked for one when I got my P5 with no luck. I doubt one is being made.

That's a shame. There seems to be a dearth of parts for the P5 which is unfortunate for such a nice instrument. OTOH, it's not surprising that you can't find vintage-style parts for a 5er.
