Ok thanks to all the TB'rs for the advice on my new choice. Just picked up my new blonde playmate and it's already strung with flats so I get to test them out as well tonight. |

|  | Registered User | | | | | Classic 50's? Great choice! I just took one off ShowLow's hands and am loving it! Hope you're enjoying yours as much as I am mine! |

| | | | Sounds incredible, feels incredible I am loving this bass! As for the covers, I dunno? Love the way she looks right now. |

IMO they get in the way on a P-Bass if you use a lot of right hand technique(palm muting, slap, playing over the pickup). |

One thing you can do to "put the icing on the cake" without using covers is put on a tug bar. Cheap, and IMO, they finish the look.

| | Registered User | | | | | Yeah, depending on your style the covers can get in the way, but luckily for me I naturally play with my fingers above the pickup cover anyway, so it worked out for me. As soon as I walked in the door with my classic 50's P I had my drill out and installed the covers and tug bar! No regrets! |

Unless you're a total moron, you cant screw it up. Literally took 5 minutes to drill the holes. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
