Gibson Les Paul bass pickup surrounds

[Bassmonkey]

Just bought another LP. A bit obsessed I know but love em. It's a black one but has cream pickup surrounds. Would look better in black in my view so wanna swap em over but can't find anywhere that sells them. Any ideas? Suggestions? Thx. Andy

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 'buckers on the bass are the same size as on the guitar? If so:

If they are not concave to fit the top of the LP, you tape some fine sandpaper over the top of the LP with double sided tape, & rub the pup ring on it till it fits.

Cheers Geoff but they're slightly different sized. Curse those Gibson fiends! Cheers. Andy

You could try asking at the Last Bass Outpost forum. Plenty of Gibson bass owners on there.

Cheers Fozza. Will give it a try

Have now found the 2 item codes - MR 493 Bridge and MR 491 neck. Ebay around the world turns up some "interesting" prices!
