music man covers are glued or waxed on. Not as simple as pulling the cover off.
Heat gun? I'd try that before boiling my pick up.

I spray painted my Jazz pickups white for a parts bass build I did last year.
It doesn't affect the sound, and costs next to nothing.
I've got vinyl on the way. Amazon should have it here in a few hours. I'll post picks when it's done.I recently changed the cover to white on my '95 Sterling, but it was a challenge to do it with the pup connected. In that year, the magnet was glued to cover so it took some effort to score and cut through glue without damaging the wire.
The vinyl option sounds cool, would be awesome to see some pics when done!
Great!!! When you have some time message me the instructional video link and the vinyl product link from Amazon please .I've got vinyl on the way. Amazon should have it here in a few hours. I'll post picks when it's done.
It looks like it could use a little more heat to shrink it closer. It does look good though.It didn't come out bad and from 10 feet away you'd never notice it's not white originally.
I agree. It took me forever to get the holes right so I ordered a 3/8 hole punch and made a template of the pup then went from there. I didn't wrap the sides b/c it was tight getting it through the pickguard.It looks like it could use a little more heat to shrink it closer. It does look good though.

View attachment 5488338I 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?
