MIM Jazz-

P covers on the VM Tele-

 

[Fresh Eddie]

Those are my toes!

I had covers on my Antigua J-bass and '74 P-bass, but they were leaving marks in the finish, so I took them off... I only really like them on there for a place to put my thumb if the pickups are not high enough to make a stable shelf.

^ I like the look of that orange p bass (minus the bridge).

 

[snowblinder]

60's reissue Fender Jazz (this one now has a pickup cover as well)

'83 SQ Precision (took the pickup cover off of this one because I tend to pick right in that area)

I still have the original one... it is a Japanese bass, and some of their hardware is not so great. I had the Gotoh 201 laying around from a bass I had gotten rid of so I put it on there. I originally hated the look of it, but it has been on there so long it would look weird to me without it. Hee hee!!

I should probably order a silver one, though.

The pink looks interesting... tell me more.

It is a Frankenbass... Hoppus body, pickups and bridge with a '72 P-bass neck (with tuners) and the control plate, tone control and ashtray added. It sounds great!!

Cor... it's a beauty!! I'm as green as a green thing.

 

[Meddle]

Its both. I don't actually smoke, my roommate does.

So THAT is how Nash does it?

Parts bass, made from a HWY1 neck amongst other things:

 

[ExaltBass]

She's Ocean Turquoise Metallic, but she's showing her goldish silvery green side here. Always different in different light.

 

[Birdbrain]

Here is my '78. Too bad the neck went crazy. Warped and twisted. I put a Warmoth neck on it. WOW! I love it.

 

[j_rod]

Look at what I've got! Just for those guys out there who wonder if an ashtray cover is available for a 5 string P-bass!

Where can I get one of these??

 

[Batmensch]

Just recently added these to my Squier VM J for that (almost) complete 70's vibe.

 

[count von count]

nice squier c.linton
did the same to my 70´s classic jazz - here with his older brother, my 78´precision

1983 Precision

That's a P cover on the pickup, right?

 

[Muddslide]

It's a mid-70s MIJ "lawsuit" P and it's a darn good one. The bridge and pickup covers are original, but I'm removing the pickup cover.

Love the looks, but they get in my way.

 

[musiqisme26]

anyone know where i can get a pickup cover for a 6 string j bass, and or even a black one instead of chrome?

 

[Rickles]

Here are mine; I don't play with the covers on, though.

.........'75 P (bought new)......AV RI '62 P............CS '64 Jazz NOS........CS '64 Jazz NOS

Those are the original covers on the '75 P.
