Thierry Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Sorry for those who already read this message yesterday ... but it disappeared mysteriously as I was telling to "Thunder" that the neck cover doesn't fit to the bridge pickup. Is there someone here who found a bridge pickup cover for a zebra ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 hey man... dont worry, here is what I answered: Ok... just measured them... Neck pickup size: 66mm (which would be ... 2 inches and 38,5/64 inch) pole spacing 5mm (which would be 12/64 inch) Bridge pickup (size) 66mm ( size: 66mm (which would be ... 2 inches and 38,5/64 inch) pole spacing 5mm (which would be 12/64 inch) So yes, they are the same...

Thierry Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Ok men, I think I should try again to put the neck one on it, maybe when I did it before I was a little ... burp. I keep you informed and thanks Thundergod, you're a mother to me ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGBENDS Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Man, I feel for you, Thunder. Your patience is amazing. Waiting for parts to arrive can drive a man wacky, especially when it's something we're so passionate about, but you must need x10 the amount of patience living in Ecuador. By the way, the photos in your sig., is that an Ecuadorian tradition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thierry Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hey men ! Great news : it WORKS !! I put the neck cover on my bridge pickup and after a few minutes of sliding and pushing, it fit !!! It was a bit difficult so that's the reason I gave up the first time I did, afraid to damage something ... So now I can happily confirm that BBPros of Faded got the same size, and that the covers that fit are the NECK one. YEAH thank you for all and have good times ...

MikeRom Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 So can you just slap covers on open coil pickups without introducing any problems, like stray capacitence, etc ? I thought that after putting covers on the also needed to be wax-potted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really ... the bridge? I thought th neck covers were the ones for bb pros!!! (I already ordered them 2 neck covers ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
