'51 P bridge/pu covers on a Classic Vibe?

[BassTractor]

IMS, it was stated on here that one can't just put the Fender covers on a Classic Vibe, but I can't find it anymore.
Anyone in the know?
Antone maybe?

Thanks!

(Yes, I know covers are in the way, but I'm not gonna cement them either. They will be removable.)

Here's a thread from TB about bridge covers on a CV if that's any help - http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f18/bridge-cover-squier-classic-vibe-p-bass-768836/

Thanks, mate! That is very helpul indeed.
So it seems there at least is no fitting (hi-mass) bridge cover (pu cover unknown), even though they referred to an eBay listing in that thread. That listing contained a part number that AFAICS is for a 60s P cover.

OK, so then I'll just order the Fender '51 P covers and see what I find. I have no qualms about mounting one or both slightly raised if that helps. Of course width is another matter.
I'll report back.


Thanks again!

I don't know how much difference there is if any but the covers comfortably fit over a Gotoh 201

That's very cool info indeed, Delberthot, as I happen to have a Gotoh 201 lying about for my planned Jazzenfaker.
Could maybe swap them even.

I'll do some measuring of the CV bridge and the Gotoh.

I read a lot about how they don't fit properly online but they fit on mine no problem

Thanks, BB. I guess that answers it then, dunnit?
I've ordered a set, and will report back, but I guess BB has already closed the thread really.
