White Pickup Covers for a 5-String Jazz Bass ???

AREA · #1 01-14-2010, 12:51 AM

Hi Guys...

Any Idea where I can get some. Are they available. For a 4-String no Problem, but I´m searching them for a 5-String... They seem to be hard to find..

Something like that...

I've been looking for them too... It's kinda shocking with all the different mods available that these aren't easy to find.

i painted a pickguard using duplicolor paint.
it turned out nicely.

Krylon makes spray paint specifically designed to bond to plastic. I have used it for other things. It works pretty well. I would suggest using it over a more traditional spray paint.

I think Carvin offers white pups on their new SB J-ish bass (which is now available in a 5'r) . . . maybe they'll sell the covers separate?

+1..I painted a pickguard last year with spray paint, after I drove a tone knob through it and repaired it with epoxy…scuff it with 320 grit…paint it…wet sand it with 800 grit and be a happy camper.

behold...a close-up of the repair
