The one thing Fender seems to have forgotten is the piece of foam they used to put under the bridge cover to dampen the strings. I believe this was done to more closely simulate the thud of an upright bass. I recall reading that the pickup cover was only put on as precaution to prevent damage during shipping. Cool bass.
