I'm looking for a couple of closed/ no-polepiece-hole Jazz bass pickup covers or shells. I have a kind of oddball Jazz, with two neck length Seymour Duncan pickups in it, and it would just look better with these kind of covers.
I've looked at eBay, and Allparts, but they all want at least $8 a cover, plus shipping! Anyone have some insider knowledge as to where I should be searching?

| | | | Neck-length pickups? Either those are huge, or you meant to say something else. Maybe neck-width, but even then most pickups I've seen are a bit wider than the neck...

Samsound: I guess that's just what I call it, although I'm pretty sure you got what I meant anyways.
Jworrell: thanks for the link! Just what I needed. EDIT: Shipping costs are atrocious... more for the shipping than for 2 covers.

GuitarJones is a good company though.. I get stuff from them.
Nothing on your bass is cheaper then those covers, with the exception of the pots and tone cap, etc.

| | Supporting Member | | Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: Houghton, MI | | | I meant that I think it's kind of lame to pay so much for a non-functional part. $20 for the covers and shipping from most sites. I got a great deal on parts for this bass, and I'd like to continue in that manner. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Except it's a neck and a bridge.
I think you were seeing $8 a set in those other places, not per cover.
