i can only recall seeing them on a few old basses. i don't think any of the reissues come with them. you can try ebay.
or maybe allparts japan?

Dude you got a sweet deal! I played a mustang bass at the raleigh GC a while back and it sounded really good! Those pickups sound just as good as a p bass pickup to me, I was really surprised at how good that bass sounded!

I was talking to Shae. I don't remember his. Yours is legendary. (my brown bronco was first though)

Its a noho body with a vintage neck. So the paint is technically the original coat but was done in the Noho garage.

RObroe's bronco inspired me to buy my bronco and put a lil hum in it.

Awesome. I couldn't figure what I liked more, the Jaguar or the Mustang bass...

can't you just spray your pickup covers white and then dump on a load of clear to keep it on?

white coverz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i bought "dover white" krylon fusion spray paint for plastic.

dover white is kinda like vintage white i guess...there was a can that was much more of a stark white but fuck that shit

Astro gave me the tip on the paint. if this shit sucks YOU ARE DEAD

na not really ill just sand it off and go about my business asking everyone to find me real white covers

robroe · Post by **robroe** » Sat Jul 26, 2008 2:30 am

on the other hand if this krylon shit works good, i am going to paint the bronco pickup to match the mustang pickups

LULZ, if it doesn't work, give me a heads up so that I can say good-bye to my mom.

Seriously though, keep us posted on how well this stuff works out. If it's durable, it would be a cheap way to colourize pickup covers, pickguards, knobs, or any other plastic parts.

If all else fails, maybe the guy who made the white Jag/Mustang knobs can build you some? I would imagine all he would need to do is make a mold of the covers. Of course, he'll probably charge you a bazillion dollars for that.

fuck that, i got white covers now!

5 coats on now. matches a regular mustang cover perfect. rock the dover white. im going to let it sit over night before i install it in the guitar.

now just have to hope the shit doesn't chip off because it looks too rad to fuck up

robroe · Post by **robroe** » Sat Jul 26, 2008 1:16 pm

well they are white, (for now)

i have no idea how long this shit is going to last on there.

i will keep you updated
