:) My friend; you will place the cover on the bass as it looks good and use a pencil to mark the hole positions. Use a drill bit to make very small holes for screws to hold the cover. NOW "screw" the bass not yourself. Tada!!! Done 8)
Peace and hope this helps. :lol:
I have done this and it works just fine.

Just take it slow. You might even want to put tape on the drill bit where you want it to stop (just a tad shorter than your screws). Wrap the tape around the bit. Go around several times and it is easy to see when to stop.
Don't drill all the way through the bass!! That would be too much. Just take it slow and be careful - you will be all right. (make sure to use a drillbit that is SKINNIER than the screws).
Oh, A variable speed drill is preferred - GO SLOW.
