paul_5 Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 I *think* I can sort of see the rationale behind it - the bridge cover then becomes earthed to the wiring ground. can’t see any benefit to it though. 1 Quote
Reggaebass Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 I’ve seen those before, I’ve got no idea what the holes are for Quote

Most distasteful to my way of thinking. Edited January 12, 2022 by paul_5 1 Quote

bigsmokebass Posted January 15, 2022 Posted January 15, 2022 Maybe it's for a Steinberger styled Jazz bass? 😅 Quote

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 It looks like the holes are for the volume & tone pots. I doubt its for a bass, maybe its meant for a lap steel? 1 Quote
