That's called a pickup cover. To my ears there is no difference in tone with one (or two) on or off. They're nice if you like shiny stuff on your bass. :)

They were really important when the electric bass was first introduced, as they helped prevent feedback.

Now, they're there for nostalgia and as Edro said, if you like shiny things.
