Nope, it's for 4 strings Musicman basses, not regular fivers. 😉

they want the chrome one back as well

Why one earth would they want a used component back when you buy a new one? I know they're pretty sharp on protecting their copyrights, but that's going a bit far isn't it?

 

Have a look at a cerakote finish. Apparently this will go straight onto chrome and it's tough as balls. Not sure how much it'd cost though, you'll need to find someone to send it to.

This the way they have been protecting themselves from copies and fakers over the years, and it's working pretty well.

 

At least, when you buy an old Musicman you know you're buying the real deal ... most of the time, unlike Fender, for instance.
