Members KeroseneTrewthe Posted June 13, 2005 Members Posted June 13, 2005 Quick question on the bridge cover for the P bass. Is it low as in just above the bridge? I pick a lot and it looks like it would be comfortable as a hand rest. But Ive yet to play a bass with one on so I dont know how high it sits on the body. Are the generic ones that the Mighty-Mite type of places sell just as good the Fender ones?
Members bassment zombie Posted June 13, 2005 Members Posted June 13, 2005 I have experience with P basses with covers. I can't tell you exactly how high they rest atop the strings precisely, however, I can tell you that both the bridge and pickup covers sit at a height which is very comfortable to rest your palm on (if so inclined). Concerning the Mighty Mite and other generic brand covers - I haven't the slightest idea. My experience has only been with the Fender covers. I'd be surprised if there was a great degree of difference in their dimensions, though.

Members rando Posted June 16, 2005 Members Posted June 16, 2005 Does having the bridge cover or pick-up cover on have any effect on the sound of a P-Bass?
Members Jazz Ad Posted June 16, 2005 Members Posted June 16, 2005 Yes. The bridge cover exagerates low mediums.

Members Jazz Ad Posted June 16, 2005 Members Posted June 16, 2005 Just do the test, record with and without. It ain't voodoo esoterism, you clearly hear it.I haven't noticed if the PU cover changed anything.
