White Pickup Covers for a 5-String Jazz Bass ???

[AREA]

Hi Guys...

Any Idea where I can get some. Are they available. For a 4-String no Problem, but I´m searching them for a 5-String... They seem to be hard to find..

Something like that...

I've been looking for them too... It's kinda shocking with all the different mods available that these aren't easy to find.

paint the black ones.
i painted a pickguard using duplicolor paint.
it turned out nicely.

Krylon makes spray paint specifically designed to bond to plastic. I have used it for other things. It works pretty well. I would suggest using it over a more traditional spray paint.

I think Carvin offers white pups on their new SB J-ish bass (which is now available in a 5'r) . . . maybe they'll sell the covers separate?

+1..I painted a pickguard last year with spray paint, after I drove a tone knob through it and repaired it with epoxy…scuff it with 320 grit…paint it…wet sand it with 800 grit and be a happy camper.

behold...a close-up of the repair

I need some too!

I think paint is the only reasonable way... Mojotone sells the black covers for $1.50 each.

The alternative is making molds of the covers, then filling them with liquid plastic of the color of your choice.
But that's a bit much, if you ask me.

I'm looking for these too. Bump.

I gave up looking for 'cream' colored covers that would match an antique-white pearloid pickguard and blocks on the fingerboard . . . finally purchased Krylon for plastic - in "Buttercream" - worked like a charm!

Yeah, that's kind of what I thought. I was hoping that someone had started making them or found them somewhere online.

There's got to be SOMEONE that makes these...
I'm not resorting to Krylon quite yet (though I probably will ).

Any luck yet?

I can't find them for my 4 string P bass either.

I'm thinking DiMarzio is the only company to sell these commercially. While I've seen them on other basses (vintage Ibanezes primarily), NO ONE offers the p'up covers by themselves. I can find white all day long, but not ivory. I'm thinking Krylon and Rustoleum are the only solutions, short of having someone make moulds and produce them for me (which I'm tempted to have done, as a friend of mine has that very setup).

If anyone has any further leads of suggestions, please chime in!

Not for five strings but basspartresource.com has all kind of white and cream after market pickup covers for Jazz and Precisions. The issue with five strings is all the different sizes and format of pickups.

Krylon Fusion is made specifically to bond to plastic.
