covers for a P5

Sign in to disble this ad
Has anyone ever run across bridge/pickup covers that would fit a Fender Precision V? I'm looking into getting a p5, but I love the look of a pbass with covers. I would think that surely SOMEONE must make some aftermarket covers that would fit 5 strings.

I'm bumping and subscribing because I have the same bass and would love some covers. By the way, you will love the P5, it's a solid bass. Also, I noticed that other makers such as Sadowsky or Mike Lull or Lakland use what looks like a standard 4 string sized P bass pick cover whereas Fender uses a larger size on their P5. In other words, there is more pickup plastic outside of the B and G strings on the Fender and less on other brands. This might make it more difficult to find something that fits the Fender.

I've seen pickup covers that will work on a P5, but to the best that I've been able to find out, nobody makes a bridge cover that will fit a Fender 5-string bridge.

I've seen huge bridge covers on 4banger pbasses. They looked so big they could prolly fit on a p5. It might've been a bridge ashtray for a p5...

Find it again, measure it, and let us know. I can tell you now that neither Fender nor Allparts has made one that fits a 5.
