Very inconsisten quality
These Fender bridge covers really are luck of the draw. Some have a nasty ringing noise that will actually be heard when playing specific notes. I got this one to replace a particularly bad one. This one was very much middle-of-the-road. Not the worst I've heard but not the best either. I had to use a thin layer of foam UNDER the cover (between body and cove) to dampen the ringing.
It got slightly better than the old one but I really don't understand why Fender can't manufacture these to a higher consistency. Because some of the older ones I've got have far less ringing.
They look cool though, if that's the kind of vibe you're looking for. And there aren't really any better alternatives so I guess they're ok.

Perfect fit
I was ordering some parts for a reissue I got recently and needed the covers. Perfect fit, high quality Fender original parts were the only way to go. Very happy with the quality and it keeps my Fender a Fender.

Adds a retro look to my bass. Been on the bass for a while now and showing no sign of tarnishing or discolouring. Screws are not supplied however, and I found it a little difficult to find screws of the right size and that match the appearance of screws already on the bass.

Cool and shiny cover!
I bought this for a Fender '62 reissue P Bass project and also bought some Fender mute foam to stick inside it. Gives me that '60s Motown tone perfectly and looks very retro cool whilst doing it!

Overpriced
As you'd expect from Fender, this is a highly overpriced accessory. Sure, the quality is good and the plating is decent but it is certainly not worth the price. Next time I will shop around for a cheaper alternative. Of course, if you need an accurate retrofit for one of the vintage P-Basses in your collection, then this might be the most period-correct choice, but if all you need is a quality bridge cover, it is worth looking around for cheaper alternatives that aren't as overpriced as this one. I don't know about you but I hate supporting corporations that raise their prices to ridiculous heights without a good reason.

Looks good, feels good.
I bought this to add to the vintage mojo of my 57 reissue P bass.
Not much you can say about it other than it was perfect right out of the pack, the screws are also of good quality, I have found the cheaper knock off bridge covers often come with cheap nasty screws that the heads grind out while putting it on making it a pig to take off.
Plating perfect all over as well so it doesn't make any scratches on the finish where you put it on.
No sharp edges if you rest your hand on it and looks great.

Great for my use.
I use this to keep the foam damping in place for my old precision. The resulting sound is really old school soul and for certain styles is perfect.

Vintage look
Really nice if you want to give your P-bass that vintage look!
Very solid piece of metal, on the downside, mine came with some minor, superficial scratches on it. It doesn't really matter because it's going to get scratched anyway, but since it's not THAT cheap, it would have been nice to get it in mint condition.
