I know different people play in different places, but where the metal pickup covers are locaed is RIGHT where I play when I solo the pickups.

When you play the neck pickup, I've found the place to play to get the most unique sound out of it is right over the neck. Same wtih playning over the bridge when the bridge pickup is soloed, and right between with both pickups on full. This is how you get the greatest tone differences between the pickups, and if you havn't tried it, you should, you might be suprised what tones are uncovered.

That being said, I know a lot of people use them for style, and admittedly they look pretty damn cool, but hell, it really rules out some fantastic tones you can get!

The only solution is to buy another bass, one with covers and one without. See how easy that was?

Seriously, when i bought my Precision, one of the first things I did was buy neck and bridge covers. Once i had them I couldn't bring myself to drill into my bneautiful new bass. I got the bright Idea to try velcro, doesn't hurt the finish and when you need to, they come off easy and go back on in a snap.

Yes brother Dave, I know that's not factory spec, lol.

Just a thought.
