Pick up Covers interchangeable??

[Kukulkan61]

I have a P Bass that is cosmetically Reliced, it has Fender road worn pups in it and the covers are Reliced also, I want to put Fralins in it, will the Roadworn covers fit the Fralin pups??
Thanks for you help..

You should probably ask Mr. Fralin.

If the Fralin pickup fits the bass without major alteration, then the covers should fit.

Maybe. variation on pole piece size and spacing, can cause incompatibility.
You might even run into bobbin issues. Especially with height.

I put white covers on a Jag bass. And the neck cover barely fit, due to slight variation between the pole piece spacing and the holes on the covers. I had to really force it on.

the covers are Reliced also

Well, if for whatever reason they don't fit your new pickups, I'd just give the new covers a scrub with some scotchbrite or fine sandpaper. That will make them relics in about two minutes.
