NBD (sorta) Squier 40th Anniversary P Bass redux

[Bar Band Bassman]

Posted that I got a 40th Anniv. Squier P a few weeks ago. Debated whether to bling it out with gold ashtray covers. Well, I decided to do just that. Kinda the bass equivalent of a gangsta gold plated AK47. Well, it turns out it's near impossible to find gold ashtray pickup covers for P basses! I've been a fan of Fender basses with covers since I was just a tyke and actually utilize them when I play so I really wanted to add them to this one. Well, it turns out I had a chrome set already, but I thought it might look "off". And then I realized that the original P basses with gold anodized pickguards had nickel plated covers! Voila! Dilemma solved! Slapped 'em on today. I think it looks great! What say you?

Nickel was a good call! The chrome definitely wouldve stood out too much, imo

That's too bad these covers do not exist, but it still looks great! The important thing is that you are happy.

I love this bass model very much, so much fun to play, and for what I paid, a super-win. Hope it brings you much joy over the years.
