Jono Bolton Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Are these a non-standard size? I've got a Bare Knuckle 58 pickup for my current P Bass build, but when I was putting some bits together earlier, the covers didn't fit through the hole in the pickguard. I checked the covers for a Creamery pickup from my JV Precision and they slotted straight in. I tested the BK against the other pickguards I've got and the casing only fit one out of the 6 I have. 'Fair enough', I think, 'I'll just swap the covers over', only this doesn't solve the issue as the BK pickup itself was too large to fit the smaller Creamery cases. The difference between the two is only a millimetre or so, but it seemed odd that the BK only fit one pickguard; most of the ones I've got here are genuine Fenders. I know the response will be just to widen the hole in the pickguard I'm using, but it's anodised aluminium so I don't really want to do that. I may just move the pickup on as I'm not overly precious about using it, but I wanted to check that I'm not being dense and missing something.

Aidan63 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 In had the same problem with some UK made aftermarket pickups I bought, rather than mod the pickguard I pried the covers off the pickups and bought some standard sized replacements, they were well attached with hot melt glue - these big ear pickup covers appear every so often from China and I guess the pickup winders don't notice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
