Show your ashtrays/pickup covers

I need to take some new pics instead of just reposting the same ones, but here they are. The bridge cover on the P is original, but it didn't come with the pickup cover. The jazz came with bridge and pickup covers but they were replacements. I like to play right over the neck pickup area, so the front cover just gets in the way anyways.

These basses look awesome!
Quick question, I have a MIA sunburst P and am thinking of doing the whole 62 vintage look on it.
What im worried about is that i dont use a pic, so the pickup and bridge covers may get in the way.
So to those who have a covers over the bridge and pickup and dont use a pic, are the covers at all burdensome when playing, or do you just get used to it?

Yup, bigger screws, bigger holes, the screw sits better in the wood and holes wont wear off that fast.
Awesome bling, guys. Keep em coming.
I found the pickup cover for my 78 P-Bass a few months ago at my parents' house and put it back on. (The ashtray, sad to say, is long gone apparently.) It has required some adjustments to my technique but I love how it looks. Now any P I see without some bling just looks naked.
