Pick hitting pickups

[Kipp Harrington]

Hey guys/gals...

On a couple of my basses, I have this issue of my pick making contact with my pickup while I'm playing. The pickup is at the right height (not too close to the strings). It doesn't bother me too much, just concerned that it will eventually start to damage the pickup. I can move my picking hand up a bit toward the neck to avoid this, but it's not where I "naturally" like to position my hand. Anyone else experience this? Thanks!

You can replace the covers if they wear. I doubt you could break a pole. But I’m curiously following.

Yeah... me too!

Now that my sixers have ramps I am forced to pick between the neck pickup and the end of the neck.
Because the pick now hits the ramps.Which is where I normally would pick.

Some times you just gotta adjust.

Can’t you put the pickups lower? Or dig in less? If not adjust your placement to just in front or behind the pickup.

Pickups are plenty low enough. I think it’s a thing where I have to change placement of my picking hand. I’ll eventually get used to it.
