I honestly doubt very much that you are going to get a pickguard 'off the shelf' which meets your requirements. You will probable have to go down the custom build route. Try these guys: https://www.originalscratchplates.com they are in a UK company and appear not to charge a fortune.

I have a used Fender Tweed Case by G&G which is for Precision/Jazz basses. I believe it is the deluxe case and not the cheaper pro series case. It has the red poodle interior. It is in excellent condition. I was told that case is from the 80s although I am a bit doubtful about this as it looks newer to me unless it has led a cloistered life. I am looking to sell this case but have no idea of value as I can't seem to find used items for sale. If any member has any advice on what the case is worth could they send me a pm. I want to advertise the case with a fair asking price hence my enquiry. Please note that I am not trying to circumvent the for sale forums as I have a subscription. Many thanks.

Problem solved. One of the battery terminals was loose. Phew! Many thanks!

My son has a newly purchased used G&L L2500 tribute series. As well as a couple of buzzes there is an electrics problem. The passive circuit is fine, however when switching to active a loud hum comes from the amp and the volume drastically reduces. Any ideas anyone?

Had the absolute pleasure once again of doing business with Andrew. He bought my Sandberg TT4. It is a huge bonus when transactions are carried out with people whom you can regard as friends.

I stand to be corrected on any of this but you are right in identifying a Custom with (I think) quilted maple. The pups are Delano MC5s.

When you consider what constitutes a 'celebrity' these days then Kylie is certainly a legend.

Good advice. I think I'm beginning to realise that. Thanks!

Not really. The S-locks are very new and so it's unlikely that anyone will be selling just the strap lock part especially when I want a gold set.

Does anyone know anywhere that I can purchase the new Schaller S-lock without having to buy the strap button? I want to keep the original Schaller buttons on my basses but rather like the new S-Locks.

As a new Sandberg owner I had no idea it was intentional. A nice wee bonus.

Just noticed today that a Schaller strap lock fits very nicely onto the standard Sandberg strap button on my California II TT4. Is this coincidence I ask myself?

Weather at last improved enough to let me get some pics of my newly acquired California II TT4.

Definitely go for the Fender. Also, if you ever plan on selling the bass then the Fender is far more marketable than the Shuker.

Many thanks for this. I’ll have a look at these.

A strat/tele case?

Thanks for the reply. I will post pics in due course. I take my pics outside and the weather hasn’t been great. Watch this space.👍

I have just taken delivery of a Sandberg California II TT4. Does anyone know of a hardcase that is a good fit?
