5 or 6 string pickups that can be bought for use with wooden covers?

Sign in to disble this ad
What pickups are available that can have wooden covers made for them? The bass i will be getting made will be either a 5 or a 6 string fretless that i would like to have wooden pickup covers . I'd like reasonably good quality pickup suggestions and different pickup types (Jazz, soapbars , humbuckers etc)

Thanks again folks.

Pretty much anything other than EMGs. If the pickup is not epoxy potted, you should be fine.

Nordstrand or Delano would be my first choices.

I don't see why EMGs wouldn't have covers - you can always cover the cover with wooden covers.

...and now this sounds like Xzibit. Damn.
