Pickup Covers


Recommended Posts

I'm new at this so this might sound seriously stupid...but. If I make pickup covers out of solid wood,

will it read through the wood like its not there or should I drill holes through it for better sound?

Keep 'em thin (mostly just so you can get the pickups close enough to the strings) and they should do fine. Wood isn't magnetic, and shouldn't interfere with the magnetic fields involved. Plenty of high end basses with wood covers out there.
