Title: Pickup cover size
Post by: lebowski77 on March 20, 2013, 09:50:01 AM

I've decided that I want nickel covers on my zebra Nailbombs. I have the 53mm (actually 52.9mm) in the bridge and 50mm (actually 49.4mm) in the neck position.

I've looked on allparts etc etc and the exact measurements don't quite match. Does anyone know if there are any aftermarket covers that will fit the BKP wide and normal spaced pups? I know I can send them back to BKP to get fitted, but I live in Australia so I'd rather just do it myself than have to send them over to the UK.

Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers.

This is a good question for Tim. :)

Hi lebowski77

Just so you know, they will need to be wax potted on properly otherwise you will be risking microphonic feedback. Also, if you have had the pickup from new and put another cover on yourself it will void the warranty on it.

It would be best to send it back to us so we can cover it for you and make sure it is properly fitted and tested afterwards.
