Jazz pickup cover no holes - Where to buy?

Recommended Posts

Some advice please chaps...

I want to get a set of pickup covers to cover the pole pieces (EMG look) on my MIJ jazz as my slap technique is a little aggressive and I keep hitting the string on the pole piece when I catch it with my palm, makes a god awful noise and I'm guessing if I covered the pole piece this wouldn't be a problem?

I tried lowering the neck pickup but it sounded crap, so i think covered pickups is the next thing to try.

Not being remotely technical, is it easy to replace the existing covers if I did manage to find a set?

Undo the screws, remove cover, replace cover, do up screws.

Fantastic... that's exactly what I'm looking for.

I was trying to find a UK supplier though, but as long as they will ship it's not really an issue.

Perhaps not... they want $41 for shipping a $1.60 pickup cover.

Try Allparts UK or [b]WD Music UK[/b] - they must be available here.

That's more like it £8.62 for a pair inc shipping.

Ordered up.

Much obliged :)

You could probably have done it with electrician's tape over the pole pieces (after removing the cases) then screw the covers back on. Glad you got it sorted though.

Yes I did consider that... I'd already bought the covers by that point though. :blink: nevermind, job done anyway :)
