    I am interested in buying my first Ric. a 4003 model.. However i do not like the heavy chrome piece over the bridge pick up.. I 've seen some photos of basses that had some clear plexiglass surrounding the pick up.. Can someone help me out on how to do that..

    Thanks

    That cover is made out of plastic.

    Google search for pickguardian. Try rickenbacker bezel too.
