Pickup and Bridge Covers For A P Bass

Sign in to disble this ad
Ok. So I've determined I'm gonna buy a set of pickup and bridge covers for my black p bass. But I wanna get some opinions of some of yall out there to help my decision. Should I go with Black? Or Chrome?

If anybody out there has one or the other on a similar bass please post some pictures.

Here's a pic of the bass.

Leave it be. It looks good as is.

Why hide the Basslines logo?

Well I could care less if the basslines logo is there,I'm not trying to show off my pickups lol. I just love the looks of P basses with the covers.

Yea the chrome is classy with the black,but I was wondering if it'd look strange since I have a black pick guard.

Any pics of a black p bass with a black pickguard and rosewood with chrome covers? Or maybe a photoshop? Just trying to visualize.

I'm personally loving the black pick-guard... I think I'll mod my P-bass with one...

The contrast would be nice (with chrome knobs), but black looks pretty good too...I'm thinking of getting black knobs with some sort of pearl finish on the top for my black P-bass.
