Faded logo on my BassLines

[Emanuele]

Hello!
I am new in this forum, but i have an important question for you all.
I own from about a month a Fender Duff McKagan signature bass. I purchased it "ex demo" from a shop in Germany, it's really in new conditions, just a tiny rash (big as a 1eurocent coin) on the plastic control cavity cover.

After a few home-reherseals, the logo on the bridge position pickup (a Seymour Duncan STKJ-2B) is faded away.
Now, as the pickup sounds incredibly good (i play almost 80's wave/darkwave music) but the pickup looks old and odd with a semi trasparent logo, i ask you all:
is there the possibility to find an empty pickup plastic cover with the logo? so i can replace it and make the bass as new (as it is!!)
it's only an optical issue, i agree...
thanks a lot!!!
E.

Re: Faded logo on my BassLines

Welcome to the forum.

The most likely explanations are that either the logo ink has been deliberately removed for cosmetic reasons or it has been worn away by aggressive plectrum style playing.

Basslines passive Precision and Jazz Bass replacement pickup have removable covers. It should, therefore, be possible to obtain fresh replacements. Even if the parts are not available as an aftermarket accessory, you will probably find them available from owners of vintage instruments who have installed new SD/Basslines pickups under the original/vintage/stock covers.

Try putting a Want To Buy thread in the Trading Post room.

I can provide replacement covers, only thing is that they are now saying "Seymour Duncan", not "Basslines". If so, email me at
