FenderOriginal '57 / '62 P Bass Pickup Cover Black
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Black cover for the split-coil pickup on a '57 or '62 style Precision Bass. Cosmetic and protective, not a tone part.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Vintage-style P Bass builds wanting the covered look
- Replacing a cracked, faded, or missing original cover
- Shielding the pickup from picking-hand contact and sweat
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Jazz Bass or any non-split-coil pickup layout
- Players who rest their thumb on the pickup itself
- Anyone expecting a change in output or tone
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
'57 / '62 fitment
Matches the mounting spacing of those vintage-spec pickups. Later or aftermarket P pickups can differ enough to interfere.
Detail 03
Black finish
Disappears against a black pickguard; reads as a deliberate contrast strip on white or tortoise.
Detail 04
Cover, not a pickup
Sits over the existing pickup. No wiring, no magnets, no effect on output.
Detail 05
Plastic construction
Non-conductive, so it does not shield electrically. It blocks physical contact and dirt only.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Pickup only — no bass, pickup, or replacement mounting screws included
- 02Verify your pickup is the '57/'62 split-coil footprint before ordering
- 03A cover raises the surface height; check your picking clearance over the strings
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit any P Bass?
It is cut for the '57/'62 split-coil footprint. Most vintage-spec P pickups match, but aftermarket and modern pickups vary in size and screw spacing. Measure first.
02Does a pickup cover affect tone?
No. It is plastic and sits over the pickup, so it changes nothing electrically.
03Does this fit a Jazz Bass?
No. Jazz Bass uses narrow single-coils in a different shape and position. This is for the split-coil P layout only.
04Do screws come with it?
Plan on reusing your existing pickup mounting screws or sourcing them separately.
