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.
