Need a music man pick up cover.

I have a newer Sub series, and love the sound of this el cheapo.
What can I say this bad boy just sounds great in the mix.
I decided to remove the old finish and do a custom paint job, unfortunately the family cat decided the pickup wire looked fun and removed it from the shelf on my bench. Only one problem the pickup ended next to my heat gun, which in turn melted the cover.
All I need is one black pickup cover. Can't find anything on line or a number to contact Ernie ball. Anybody have any ideas.
 
That's not entirely accurate.

They will sell parts if you surrender your old part. I.E. if your preamp dies, you can buy a new one from them if you send in the old one. I would figure buying a pickup cover would be much the same. Especially since yours is melted...

I would call them
 
Got my reply from EBMM.
It simply read "we do not sell parts,sorry.
So keep this in mind.
I know I will, I own a big al 4, a Ray 34 cl. And was about to pull the trigger on stingray 5 string or a bongo,
Not so sure now.

They have always been weird like that, but I wouldn't let that stop you from buying another bass from them. I have heard extreme horror stories from Gibson part replacements and warranty stuff. Although they do make nice basses...
 
Maybe you'll have more success if you order it through your local EBMM dealer.

I ordered a white pickup cover for my Stingray through my local dealer just a couple of months ago, and received it about two weeks later.

If you don't have any luck, and decide that you want a white pickup cover (as long as it's the same size and the mounts match), I'll sell you mine for what I paid... I wasn't crazy about how the white looked on my bass, so I put the black cover back on.
