Fender Vintage Bridge Cover Jazz Bass

If you, like me, have a Jazz bass and wish it had a good ashtray cover to make it look superb then look no further.

This is simply perfect, it is utterly pristine in its shineyness (although can be roughed up a bit with sandpaper if you want a more worn look) and is such a doddle to install! Just put it in place over the bridge, mark where the screw holes are, use a suitable sized drillbit to make a pilot hole (place some masking tape over the body to avoid chipping the paint) and then screw the ashtray in place!

It really makes a difference to the look of the bass but you can also wedge some foam between the bridge and strings to dampen the sound - you could do this anyway by placing the foam between body and strings, but this hides the foam.

Real Fender spare, promptly delivered.

Originally, the pickups on Jazz (and P) basses needed shielding- hence the cover, these days they are purely cosmetic, but imo they greatly add to the instruments looks. One word of caution- it wouldn't fit on my Modern Player bass because of the high mass bridge that these instruments come with, so be prepared to change the bridge (or file the existing one, if you have a destructive nature !)
I have a Squier Mustang Bass, and so I put it on there- looks absolutely great!
I'll be back for both a bridge and a bridge cover for my MP Jazz.
