94mm White Jazz Pickup Covers NO HOLES

Hey all, I'm trying to hunt down some white or ivory 94mm jazz bass pickup covers with unexposed pole pieces. I'm getting some custom Aero pickups made for an Epiphone Expert 6 bass and haven't had any luck hunting them down. I could paint them I suppose, but I'd rather not. Thanks in advance for the help.

Good luck in your search, but if you find some, try to make sure the screw hole tabs have the spacing you need. I got some black covers with no holes, also for a set of Aeros, but the screw hole tabs on one of them were a couple millimeters off, so I couldn't use them. (Larry ended up having some covers that worked fine.)

Maybe you could have some made with 3D printing.

Yes, good advice. I'm doing a bit more searching to see if they exist anywhere, but I did consider 3D Printing. Larry hasn't been able to locate anything but black covers, either. I'll try to remember to reply when I find a solution. Thanks!

Yes, I'm curious how this comes out. After my last post, I remembered I bought the no-hole covers when I was considering someone other than Aero for my order. I figured anyone could drill holes in the right places with a blank cover, possibly including Aero. But then one of them didn't fit.

I went with Aero because: (a) he has a great reputation; (b) I had liked them in an old Lakland Skyline Daryl Jones model I tried; and (c) he's one of very few makers that offers five-string J pickups in four-string size and could make staggered poles. He said the covers are difficult to find (with holes), but he still had some.

I hope it works out. I would actually like white covers in my bass!
