White pickup covers.

[J. Crawford]

Hey guys,

I was wondering, where is the best place to get white pickup covers?

Im thinking of getting a SR 4HH:
White, matching headstock
Rosewood
Tort, or black PG

... and I want some white (not cream) pickup covers.

Are these available? If so, where? Link?

Thanks!
J.

Hi
The new style pick up covers are not available in white.

I don't know if they were "new" style as they were all on the wall but when I recently went to Guitar Center Hollywood there were at least 3 basses with white pickup covers. They were not used basses either.

I really like them myself!

New, or not, they had to be Stingray 5H with white pickguards, which is the only model that has a white pickup available.

So I cant buy white pickup covers aftermarket from anywhere?

Wow, big bummer.

Theoretically Jordie, you COULD paint the existing covers white. Not saying it would work that well, but if you know what you're doing, and are 100% set on the color, it could happen. Just sayin'.

don't paint them please, I too like white and maybe in the future they will become available?

White covers do exist, I grabbed a few off ebay early this year. I don't remember the seller or I'd share it with you. Last time I checked ebay they didn't show up. If you're going to put them on an HH it'll take some work and a new pickguard.

Yep, those old style 4 string versions exist, as well as the older style found on single H SR5. But the poster has a HH, so...

It can be done, even on HHs with the new covers.

I thought that with the new models (and the older ones as well) the plastic "cover" was glued to the rest of the pick-up. No?

Thos white ones from the bay look like they were black and painted white.
And they are not the same "white"

What's the story on that one?

I just swapped in a couple of stock Stingray pickups I had laying around to see how it would sound. It was good but not better than the stock neo pickups so I put it back to stock.

The ebay pickups are solid white plastic, my camera is crap.

Beautiful bass, that limited Japan one. I had a beautiful 2 band/3 band pair like that before the HHs came out and I sold them off.

I like black pickups

The black ones definitely add more warmth to your tone. The white ones sound more aggressive, but too thin for my taste...

Bumping an old thread, I would LOVE the option of getting white pickups in a Bongo. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. Even keeping the black knobs I'd take those pickups in a heartbeat. I'm thinking of getting a Sky Blue Bongo6 with a white guard and white pickups would really enhance the look.

Just a special order option with an upcharge is all I'm asking for here!
