P-Bass bridge and pickup cover ???

Hi folks....
Please excuse my ignorance here....
I am taking receipt of a nice P-bass in the next few days...was thinking of dressing it up a bit....
I have seen bridge covers for J-basses with a big F embossed in them - will these fit on a P ?
Also, are pickup covers for J's and P's interchangeable?...can't see any reason they wouldn't be...
Thanks

Just an idea...

As far as interchangeability...I don't know.
It looks like the Jazz bridge cover is bigger than the Precision's, so I don't know if it'll work, but it might, I have no experience with either so I am just going from pictures. Hope this helps a little at least =)
 
The pickup and bridge covers for p's and j's are certainly different, interchangeable? I'm not sure.
The J bridge cover is much larger in order to hide the bridge pickup, while the p bridge cover is pretty small and compact (as seen above). The J pickup cover is skinnier because it only has to hide the thin single coil, the P pickup cover is somewhat thicker to cover the entire split coil.
YMMV
