I've been tempted to get some cream ones for my squier P. Black finish, black PG, Rosewood fretboard, and some cream pup covers poppin out? Could be cool...

Thanks, Margus. I debated between the rosewood vs. the maple board. I like either one with the mint green.

I've got this and I no like it.. trying hard to get a black cover for it.. looks goofy to me.

Does anybody have/have pics of a black p bass, with black pickguard and white pickup covers. I've been looking everywhere on the net, but can't find anything.

Here ya go Motherpenny.
Not my bass, just some "file" photos I found on line. It's not actually a Fender, but it's a P-bass.

Thanks for that lowphatbass, I'm thinking of buying a black fender strat with the same scheme, then buying covers and pickguard for my American P-Bass.

My first bass (Fender P) had a white pickup on a white pickguard. Call me silly, but to this day, black pickups on a white guard don't look right to me except on black basses.

I searched high & low on the internet for 5-string white or vintage cream jazz pickup covers. To my knowledge, they simply don't exist. So I made my own set. I used several coatings of Krylon Fusion (Buttercream color) on the casings after removing the pickups. Sometimes glue-like adhesives are used inside the casings to hold the casings onto the pickups and so they can be stubborn to remove from their casings, some are easy.

Mods:

Fully copper shielded
Vintage Cloth insulated wire
Vintage Cream Pickup covers (Krylon Fusion)
Black MIM jazz pickguard
Fender jazz bass knobs
Fender jazz 6-position Varitone control plate
Hipshot A-style Bridge
Rolled fretboard edges
8-32 Steel threaded inserts in neck
1 1/2" machine screw neck screws
Dunlop strap locks

Thats Bad @ss..Great combo

What is the specs on that bass?

 

[M.R. Ogle]

I had white covers, wanted Cream, so I dunked mine in boiling yellow RIT fabric dye for about 6 seconds. The plastic will quickly absorb the color.

Old trick I learned coloring RC Car plastic components.

Oh man, I totally disagree! I think the white cover looks perfect on that bass. I would not change it.
