RIC Pickup Cover On

Ric basses ship with a chrome plated plastic cover over the treble pickup to give the classic look of the original horseshoe pickup, BUT, it gets in the way for most players. It also obstructs picking or plucking over that treble pickup, limiting the full potential tone options.

Ric pickup cover removed

The majority of players remove the pickup cover to gain access to picking/plucking over the treble pickup. This leaves a gaping hole around the pickup, exposes fingers and palms to sharp corners, and exposes the delicate pickup windings to possible damage.

The Original Treble Bezel Installed

The Treble Bezels fill in the void, protecting your fingers, palms, and pickup, while also cleaning up the aesthetics of your favorite RIC. Pictured is the STANDARD version of the Treble Bezel, with no thumb anchor for the cleanest look.

There are also COVE and DELUXE style thumb anchor options, as well as a TREBLE PICKUP CHROME RING to finish off the look.

There's a perfect bezel for every player.
