Pestie Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Morning All I am having real problems trying to source a replacement neck pick up cover for my USA Spector Shorty no:#25. The official Spector information just says it is an Aguilar J. When I try to search this there are at least 4 different types to choose from and then only if I buy a complete pickup set. This seems a bit excessive since all I need is the plastic cover, the pickups work perfectly. I have tried Spector who passed me on to Bass Direct, neither were able to help. I then tried Barnes & Mullins the UK distributor for Aguilar who suggested a complete pick up set. I have also tried a generic cover off Ebay and the pole spacing wasn't the same. Any ideas or suggestions will be really appreciated. Thanks Mike (Pestie) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 That's helpful of Barnes & Mullins to suggest you buy a complete set of pickups when all you need is a plastic cover. Really good customer service, eh? I'd try filing out the pole piece holes on the generic one you've got. Would be better than nothing. Or perhaps a personal email to the CEO of Aguilar, saying how much you like his products, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I don't know about Spector pickup width, but I installed a set of AJ70s in my squire jazz a couple of months ago and they're standard Fender Jazz size, with the neck pickup being slightly shorter than the bridge. If its just pickup covers after and your not bothered about branding then try http://www.allparts.uk.com/collections/plastic-pickup-covers/single-coil-jazz-bass-style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Get in touch with PJ at Spector. Probably the most helpful human being in the known universe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pestie Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Got this sorted in the end. I contacted Aguilar after a member suggested it. They are going to contact Spector to get the correct pick up size and they are going to send me replacement covers from USA. Thanks for all your help.
