J Mascis pickups without covers
Is there an easy way of installing them without using the pickup covers?

Do you mean the stock pickups in the Squier JMJM?Trout wrote:Is there an easy way of installing them without using the pickup covers?
The short answer is that there's no way to attach stock JM pickups without covers - unless you modify the pickups themselves.
What are you hoping to do by remove the covers? You can get black covers, or even clear ones via Shapeways (3D-printed) if you're aiming for another look.

Re: J Mascis pickups without covers
Jazzmaster pickups are also pretty fragile without the covers.
