Usually, wood pickup covers will require some routing to make fit. I don't know of anyone that can make a cover in exactly the same dimensions as a plastic cover so that the stock inlets are used.
When I do mine, I remove the plastic cover and just mount the coil set in the recess. That allows a thin top but slightly thicker sides to keep the structure solid.

You may want to ask some luthiers and builders who do wooden covers for their basses if they may be willing to do covers for you. I know Benevente does wood covers, as does Nordstrand. There are others that do as well, but I don't remember them off the top of my head.

Thanks Nick! I'll look into them My plan is the make this bass look like a 57' Pbass, but with a closer look one will notice the bridge pickup. I plan on finding a place that will refinish the body, and pickup cover in a gloss black, put the chrome neck pup cover on the bass, and the vintage tall fender tuners.
