Question : the Pickups still have like a rubber / plastic cover on them.. is this normal or can it come of ?? WTF is it for ? to stop them going rusty with sweat ??
thanks in advance and regards

I don't know but mine had the covers too, like two flaps of very thin transparent plastic over each pickup. I just left them as they were. Wish I hadn't sold it, it was a special bass. Got my eye on the Hagstrom Viking now though! :)
