a little research on the subject would have saved you some heartache...plenty of threads here make note of this fact... Leave the ashtray off...use it as an....ummmm...AN ASHTRAY!
What's an ashtray? Or, if its a dish where you dump your cigarette ash, then why would you put it on or near your bass?
rub it in why don't you? i've been talking about adding an ashtray and a badass for a while and nobody said anything about it. it's cool, i guess i'm gonna put it on my P copy. which will look weird, but hell if i'm going to waste $16.
sell the ashtray on ebay for $10...someone will DEFINITELY buy it for that... I've never considered an ashtray on my P-copy but, I've read more than 1 or 2 threads here about BA's and ashtrays being incompatible.
Ashtray equipped basses come with the stock bridge which is much narrower. The Bad Ass is a better thing to have anyway, the ashtray is just a cosmetic feature that takes up fingering room.
