I like it (A LOT) but, what about cover the p/up (neatly) with black electric tape, then live with it......
This may make your mind up. IMO looks great.
One of these, https://www.amazon.com/Chrome-Bass-Bridge-Gotoh-201B-4/dp/B019J7T0NW goes straight on in existing holes.
Nice bridge too, you would have to search for a UK seller, or ebay.
How about this Vintage lined fretless, I know it's sunburst but IMO it's a fantastic fretless, I used to use it in a reggae band but dont now. pm me if interested, cheers.
Just a note; the plate is darker in colour than picture shows due to the camera flash, as can be seen the fiesta red looks pink but is actually red!
Also p+p is free.
I bought this black pearl plate recently but not needed now, fits USA, Mex, Squier CV etc. perfectly.
Looks great on Black, white, red, blue just abour any colour P really.
Cost was £20 ish
Asking £15 can post
Take a look at this vid;

I'm not saying classic vibes are the best basses in the world, far from it, but you can get a fantastic tone from them (I have two)
....during gigs, a few people have come closer for a look at the make and comented favorably on the sound.
Buy a Squier classic vibe or vintage modified, really great basses for the money........preferably same or similar colour to your old one, get rid of said old one and just pretend its the same bass.
Don't rush into spending the rest, it could go on lessons an amp, a treat for the other half or even towards a trip away, you'll be in her good books!

It is now sadly (although I do still quite like the look of the 2t). The current model has 4 knobs - VVT & 4 way selector - with the Jack socket moved to the side so I'd say this is the previous model.

Yes, previous model, bought new 2012, the newer satin model plays nice, but I love mine.
