Are they still grounded from the pots to under the bridge as well? Or was this an earlier method before they started going through the body from under the control plate? 

 

I think it was before they started drilling a hole from bridge to control cavity.

The “Ashtray” bridge cover would also conceal the ground strip

Not bad, thanks @nilorius, but not as good a set of tones that Ігор Одарюк, a talented Ukrainian bassist, managed to get out of the JO5 he tested. For sure it's partly in the fingers! 

 

 

Well, if it's some consolation: the bass he's playing is a USA Joe Osborn. I've owned both the Skyline 55-60 and the USA JO5 (still own that) and although they're both great basses, the USA is something else. It might be the best 5 string Jazz I've ever played, and I've played dozens. The Skyline is véry very good, especially for the price. But it's not a USA.
