how exactly did you fit a bridge cover over a BAII? And why not a BAIII? Better pictures?

It may be a BA III, I'll have to check, and it was a tight fit. The top of the bridge is visible as the cover doesn't totally cover the bridge. I was playing with some guys doing some Maiden and such and wanted that Steve Harris vibe. I'll put some better pics up tonight.

That looks like a jazz bass bridge cover to me.

A Jazz cover is much bigger. That is a P Cover.

Here are some more pics. I was sickened to find a chip in the side. The only other thing is a small crack in the pickguard where it cracked when it was installed.

Thanks Guys. I tried to find a Harris Signature bass for a long time. I was playing with some guys at the time and we were working up some Maiden, and I decided to make my own. Found a nice P bass and started tweaking. That band didn't work out and I play 5 string about 95% of the time and I just spent 2k on a new bass soooo figured I would sell off a few items to keep the wife happy :)

Where did you find the mirror pickguard? Does it have good clarity? Is it fairly stout plastic, or thin and flimsy?

Bump for a nice looker. ;)

I think it was www.allparts.com but I have ordered so much stuff over the years I could be confused :) Yes it was pretty solid and it was tight fitting at the end of the neck and I cracked it putting it on :scowl: Started to order another one then but figured I'd leave it to see if I liked it and have left it on for years. Thought many times of throwing on a tort pick guard though.

Are you sure that's a 57 reissue? All of them that I've seen (and I'm actively looking for one, btw) have "Precision Bass" written under the spaggetti logo, not next to it like yours. Serious question. Thanks.

Probably my mistake...thought you had stated it was a 57 RI...sorry.

No it's not a '57 ri :) I think it is a 2003 Model
