Hi.
I just got some pick up and bridge covers for my new modern player jazz bass and have encountered a problem. I had seen a picture of one of these basses with them on, so thought mine would fit. However, it must have been on the older model, as the 2013 model comes with a big high mass bridge, causing the top bit of the bridge humbucker to stick out of the cover.
Has anyone got any ideas on how to fix this? I was thinking of moving the bridge sadddle up a bit, would that cause any problems playing my bass? Or if that isn't an option, getting a smaller bridge. If this is the best way to go, does anyone know any reliable but not really expensive 5 screw bridges?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks -
Bought a Modern player Jazz Bass off Mark. He very kindly held it aside for me for 2 months, plus sent it with a nice padded fender bag. 5 stars ;D

OK thanks, much appreciated

Damn. No way around it? The sticky thread about couriers and packing says bike shops have good boxes for delivery, if there's any near by where you live? Can't pick it up as it would probably cost almost the same amount as the bass getting the boat across and travelling down to London and back, plus a long time travelling.

Would you deliver to the Isle of Man? I'll pay the delivery cost, of course.

Thanks for the reply, yeah have been thinking about it and I might be able to trade with someone else who has the classic vibe squier bass. It was too expensive to get a new reliable bridge considering I only want them on because I think they look cool.
If someone replaced their smaller bridge with my one, would they need to do much to their bass to have it like it was? Just adjust intonation a bit? or is it more complex then it seems?
