ive just taken bass up recently and was looking through some fratellis video to see if i could pick up any tips from baz's playing technique, but i was wondering what is the silver bit over his pickups like in this pic (from pretty like a girl)

'Ey up, Rocketfingers.

It's just a pickup cover. They have them on Jazz & Precisions. Just to cover the pickup. Some say it affects the tone and reduces sustain, others say it makes no diff but looks cool/doesn't look cool.
