Could I remove the cover of the horseshoe pickup? Mine is a 2009 c64

Nelson, you have a reissue horseshoe pickup on that bass and the shoes are not magnetized. The pole rods are alnico5 rod magnets and energize the coil. Yes, you can remove the shoes, as many do who do not like the restrictions. You'll need to space up the coil the thickness of the shoes though.

Can I have the covers when you take them off ?

how much would you offer?

And I was going to offer the free services of the Allgaier Retired Horseshoe Ranch....

...which is located in Cleveland.

Go home, Jeff! Hey, I see you still have 19992 more posts to go.

Look again.

I believe the ranch was relocated to Motown.

Indeed it was, - following which, it was totally dismantled and exported to Western Australia, whereupon it was re-established.
By sheer coincidence, I happen to be the custodian of artifacts at the ranch.

I'll send you a nice picture of whichever single pole pickup I've managed to wangle them on to

You didn't really think that any of us figured you'd stay with the noob post count?!
