Lets see your basses with bridge/pickup covers
- Thread starter MAJOR METAL
- Start date
Bridge cover.
Eventually my other basses(no matter the make/brand/style) will get these as they are comfortable IMO.
I got those at WD Music Supply, but I'm pretty sure you can pick them up at lots of places. Guitar Center, Musicians Friend, etc.
+1 to that. Any time I've ordered from them I've had the part in my hand within 2 days.
Same here. Two days. Shipped on a Thursday, got here on a Saturday. I'll be posting my bass here soon. I bought a '62 RI Red Tort PG that was already drilled for the pickup cover, so I decided to order one. I needed to order screws anyway for the bridge cover I just got from them. I forgot the covers don't come with screws (though they really should).
This may be kind of strange but does anybody have a picture of a jazz with a smaller precision cover over the bridge and a jazz cover over the neck pickup. I like the idea of the covers but I can't cover the bridge pickup. That's where I rest my thumb 99% of the time. Looking at the differences between both styles of bridge covers it looks like the jazz bridge pickup would be exposed with the precision bridge cover. Another question, would the P bridge cover cover a Badass 3?
Thanks.
It's a Warmoth neck that I finished in nitro about a year or so ago. The fretboard grain was the main reason I chose it over two other similar lefty necks.
..Imagine that, a lefty being able to choose from more than ONE musical item, let alone three...!
Absurd, it was. I had no idea what to do for days............
Oh, and I almost forgot, my Essex:
I've since bought another bridge/bridge pickup cover for the SX, and drilled some new holes about 3/4" inch higher on the cover and installed it so the cover would be lower, equal to the distance between the covers that my Fender has. The SX's always have their bridge/bridge pup covers installed too high on their Jazz basses, not allowing nearly as much room to play in between the covers. 3/4" makes alot of difference.
That, my friend, is one gorgeous bass!!! The pickguard and the chrome cover set off the LPB beautifully!
I love the Ripper-Ive Been In Love with it since i saw Mike Dirnt and Novoselic using them, even though they arent my favorite bands or bassists, their music is cool.
