If they would make a matching pickup cover I'd guess they would sell quite a few to Bachbird owners. I'd buy 2 sets myself.

I've always appreciated that our neighbors to the northwest have a pragmatic sense for doing things.  :mrgreen:

Be aware of the height on these non-original bridge covers, and make sure it will work for your intended application.

I had bought one for ~$20 from someone a couple years back for my EB-3, and it wasn't tall enough to cover the bridge without hitting it.  IIRC, it could work on my 76 if I use spacers under it (the bridge on that is pretty much laid on the body).  Haven't tried it on the BaCH.

Just FYI, YMMV, etc...

If I'm not mistaken, didn't the bridge covers sit on two small rubber/nylon pads through which the mounting screws passed?

Yeah - greatdealz was selling the little NOS black spacers for a while.  They looked like solid black PG material(?), so maybe it wouldn't be to hard to make a set.

My Triumph has those spacers under the cover.  I assume they went MIA on the other basses, or maybe were never there to begin with.

PG material?

Maybe a pair of black nylon washers....?

i think we have reached the point it is possible to build a Gibson without anything Gibson.

Makes you wonder how much Gibson outsources these days.
