I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can get chrome pickup covers for a p bass pickup. I'm not talking about the cover plate, what I am talking about are the plastic housings for the pickups themselves. Any help would be great.

Welcome.

Frankly, I've never seen any metal P-Bass pickup covers, per se. In years gone by, I've seen what they used to call, "close to chrome" plastic ones where the phony chrome always blistered off rather quickly. Of late though, I haven't seen any.

They would have to be nonferrous such as the plastic mentioned previously. Any metal that you could chrome plate would interfere with the pickup's operation. I've not seen the aftermarket chrome covers in years.

You might could silver spray paint a set.
