How to replace background with random image

Hi I am seeking to add a random image WITH a top linear-gradient. This is similar to - this question of adding random colors question - found here - https://teamtreehouse.com/community/random-background-color

However I would like to figure out how to add a random image with a linear-gradient. I would like my sass/css to look like 

$base= #ccc
$base2= #333
body
    background: linear-gradient(rgba($base, .9), rgba($base2, .9)), url('RANDOMimage') no-repeat fixed
    background-size: cover
    background-position: 0px 0px

Here is what I have so far... But it is not right - Any help?

$(document).ready(function(){
var images = ['image1.jpg', 'image2.jpg', 'image3.jpg', 'image4.jpg', 'image5.jpg', 'image6.jpg'];
$('body').addClass('myclass').css({'background': 'url(assets/img/' + images[Math.floor(Math.random() * images.length)] + ')'});
});

---css---

.myclass
    background: linear-gradient(rgba($mycolorVAR, .4), rgba($mycolorVAR2, .9))
    background-size: cover
