Hi.... from right here.... https://www.armstrongmusic.co.uk/?srsltid=AfmBOooIX6qf7is0pNAWvOrW7x74OZHOwRV2d1hyfReYVj1t2hHQC2iy

Thats was a close second!

Current install...

Well, As I was dropping off a pick up for rewinding, I decided to jazz up my Jaguar bass with a new scratchplate. Looking through the material, I could not decide so I bought 3! They were cut to size using some sort of scanner as the short scale Jags are a different size. I fitted the darker tort in the end but thought id send out images for anyone interested in changing the standard black one. I might swap as I see fit 🙂 In the images they still have the protective layer to pull off.

Thank you for your help and support through doing this, really appreciated top BC'er 🙂

Well, final update from me on this I guess, I had the treble part of the pick rewound (WD Music) as it was dead, its now been re-fretted and setup (Andy Crockett) and I've replaced the tug-bar. Strung with La bella's. regarding Pickguardgate - I went with the black scuffed up and stained with Briwax. Probably not to everyone's taste, but I really like the result. For a '75 it plays great, sounds as a P should, is fairly light with as many original parts as I could recover. If anyone has a rusty screw they are willing to post for the pickguard above the tugbar, please give me a shout. Oddly (considering the condition of the bass), the screw is bothering me 😆

I just got rid of a couple to BD, they were nice basses but doing nothing in the cupboard. Still have 3 mind you, the P im 'still' restoring, A Jaguar (gigging bass keeper) and a BC Rich Mockingbird (midlife crisis) that ive always loved the look of.

This would be worth a cheap experiment if you want mids, stock incoming according to them... https://www.armstrongmusic.co.uk/products/bcu-active-onboard-tone-expander-guitar-pot-upgrade

That and and overdrive would have been nice.

Here's mine, pretty happy and settled with it.. 🙂

Not too far from where I was made either!! 😅
