Cream / White pickups

So I'm building a new bass. I'm looking for a jazz and a musicman pickup in white or cream.

The jazz is easy enough as there's loads of replacement covers available, but does anyone know of a company who make great jazz and humbuckers in white or cream?

Thx

How about DiMarzio?

Try Herrick pickups, I`m sure Martin will be able to sort something.

Lozz, have you used any of their pickups? Just asking as I've never heard of them before...

I bought a set of cream covers on EBay for my Precision and simply fitted them over the pickup that I had and liked. I'd looked at DiMarzio but this seemed the easiest sensible option. It cost me just a few quid.

Good plan! It does seem the only way to get a white musicman pickup is to buy a cheapo off ebay and just use the cover.

Yes I`ve got one of their Precision pickups - pretty powerful, less vintage voiced than those in my US Precisions, so less low-mids, and really works with dynamics of playing, can sound clear as a bell, you know, that piano like tone, but hit hard and the gain comes in nicely.

Well it's a way of doing it (presuming the cover fits the pick up you're using).

However, as was mentioned in another thread, you can buy a real Musicman one for about £10 if you order it from a shop. You should be able to buy a whole pick up the same way.
