i haven't seen any with the f logo on them though. fender usually doesnt make stuff that fits other guitars because thats just what they do

I think it just may be unpopular or no one has tried it but I like the jazz bridge cover not the precision cover

IMO you would significantly hurt any resale value of the bass by drilling nonstandard holes in the body, at least if you put a P cover o it the holes would be correct for that model.

I own a '79 P and a '73 J, both with original chrome hardware. The J bridge cover is way bigger than the P; the screw holes are close to an inch total wider on the J. The bridge cover does fit on the P, though you would have to drill 2 new holes at least an inch higher on the body. As the above post stated, not advisable, as far as resale value is concerned.

I am a strong believer on not selling my first bass so Im not worried about resale value and thx can u put up a aerial view pic of it or something cause i wanna see it

I was wondering if the cover would hit the pickguard, I guess that answers that.

It actually fits in there quite well now that I look at it. I just set it on there for the pic, it's not attached. I like my basses correct

Oh, but zelth, by all means go for it if you want. I think it looks pretty cool.

The J bass bridge covers look like athletic supporters to me. Never could get past that mental image.

 

[pltnny]

J cover does not hit the pickguard on the Fender P. I agree with other post- it actually sits comfortably over the P bridge, but new holes will need to be drilled.

Looks ok, but it takes away some playability. I find there are songs, or even individual notes, when I want the hard plonk you get by playing right down by the bridge. And of course if you want to put your piece of foam in as a mute, it's very difficult.

I think it looks sexy and im gonna go and but one on with a p-bass pup cover and i will eventually post the pic on here i just need to find a cheap one and like before new holes i really dont care

 

[zelth24]

also i looked at the pic for a while and it looks like it can still even go back half an inch or so

 

[Webtroll]

it looks a little off to me, but then it also throws me off to see aged nickle hardware on a Les Paul Studio. mind you this is coming from the guy that stuck a DiMarsio X2N7 on a Squier P bass so what do i know?

 

[pltnny]

zelth24- You can definitely pull the J cover lower so it's hanging off the body; it's all a matter of what look you want. Keep in mind, though, that the screw holes will not line up (off by close to an inch from each other) with the P holes.

 

[zelth24]

I will eventually do this and post a pic when its done as i said not worried bout holes

You might want to see if you can hunt down a bridge cover for a Mustang. It has the "F", but isn't as long as the J cover.
