Does any one know what if any changes happened to the 'ashtrays' on P-basses from 1957 forward?

There were some minor differences in the pre-CBS and CBS chrome bass bridge and pickup covers because either CBS changed suppliers or changed the screw spacing spec. Nothing much, just a couple of mm's. This is why you often have to flex a reissue cover to fit pre-CBS screw holes. There also seemed to be more of a bluish tinge to the chrome on the pre-CBS ones, but that might just be age showing or it could just be wishful thinking on my part.
