Pickup Cover to fit SR300L

Stainless. I had to look it up, but the nickel strings are Swingbass 66N. They also have a cheaper nickel set called Rotobass.

I put them on Friday and played a gig that night. They certainly are rougher feeling than the D'Addarios and the tension is a little higher, so I had to tighten the truss rod a bit. They weren't as bright as I remember either. I think the Ibanez is just not a super bight bass because of the basswood body. But they have an interesting midrange, and when played with a pick, they had that Rotosound bite. The low B is a little less focused sounding than the D'Addarios, which have a great low B string.

But I think I like them. When playing up higher on the neck on the G and D strings they are fuller sounding.

Another string I used to like where the Ken Smith strings. I haven't used them since the mid 90s.

My buddy at the guitar store was trying to sell me some SIT Power Wound Nickel strings.
He plays guitar, and has switched to them on guitar.
Thanks for the help.

Back on the pickups and covers.
I got to tapping around on these huge 4-1/4x 1.33" pickups with a steel allen wrench.
They appear to be made like P Bass pickups.
Internally there is a 2 bass string bobbin nearest the neck, and a 2 Treble string bobbin toward the bridge.
Don't know what the advantage would be with two short bobbins in the cover versus 2 bobbins that cover all 4 strings.

Split coil pickups sound like single coils because both coils are not sensing the same strings.
