My aged pickup cover not so 'aged'
« on: May 14, 2007, 08:54:40 PM »
Just recieved my bare knuckle miracle man and can't wait to get it in my Les paul

However, I ordered the aged nickle cover (an extra 10 quid ontop of a regular cover) and it doesn't look anything near as rugged and aged as the ones in the gallery section or the pictures on the bare knuckle shop page

It looks like its just got some grease smeared over it or something lol

Its not too big an issue as its the tone thats important but i was looking forward to having a nice rusty, aged pickup in my bridge

any body got any pictures of their aged pickup covers to compare?

Heres what it should look like...


here's mine...

woah... that IS a big difference...

unusual though- my worn p-90 cover was nigh-on destroyed just as i asked, and i've never heard of anyone else in a similar situation as you...

odd...  :?

Hmmm that is strange, doesn't look anything like the picture :lol: I'm sure it will age with time so it will look better as time goes on.

By the way Man UTD rule!!

Tim would definitely rough it up if you asked.

i guess its down to whether you can be arsed to go through the hassle of sending it back and waiting again...

will they be open now or shall i wait till tommorrow?

or is there any way i could get in contact with tim right now?

I ordered it from a shop who got them in bulk so maybe they rushed it or something...
(even though mine was an individual order)

Dunno. Never needed to. I always just ring them, and have never needed any after sales service (though Tim gave me some pickup covers once: thats another story, a bkp-customer-service-is-fricken-awesome story).

I can appreciate your haste if its not what you wanted, but do you really need the pickups to look the part tonight? Talking is always so much better than emails....
