I painted and hydro dipped my ebmm sterling. I'd like a white pup cover but music man doesn't offer them. I know this b/c I damaged the existing pup and had to have it replaced and I asked cs then if then had white. Any ideas?

Does the cover on a Sterling slide right off? I've had Sterlings before but never removed the pickup for any reason.
StingRay 4 stings, yes I've removed the pickup on those and the cover slides right off. So if it doesn't, that may be the reason they don't sell one.

No. It has glue or wax holding it on. I e heard that u can boil the pup and get the cover off but then it has to be rewaxed

I've been trying to find the board member who sold this bass a year or two ago but the search bar didn't n't help.
His bass is a Sterling, though.

Here's the info from Reverb.
DESCRIPTION & TECH
The DELANO MC 4 FE/M2 double split coil humbucker uses eight 9.5 mm diameter plated pole pieces. Compared directly to the AlNiCo V version, you will find punchier bass, more linear dynamic response throughout the entire frequency range. It is characterized by in-your-face ultra fast transients that make ghost notes really jump out and a brightly sparkling top end that never sounds artificial. There will be no 50/60 cycle in single-coil mode because of the quad-coil construction.
Available with White pickup covers.
Includes pickup screw tubing and black screws.
Shielded 4-conductor cable

DIMENSIONS
Size:
3.5" [89.0mm] Long
1.91" [48/4mm] Wide

@Tj smith , Maybe have one 3D printed. Someone suggested that to me when I was searching for a white pickup cover for my active short scale. I have not done it yet.

The work you did on that bass looks fabulous !! White pickup cover will surely make it pop even more .

Thanks. My original plan was to spray antique white over the blue paisley and do a relic job but the paisley came out so nice that I couldn't paint over it. I wanted to do a Nash style finish but decided I liked the paisley to much to relic it.
