daz Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) I was having a few 'vibe' troubles from my Farida today, so I did the obvious things first, such as tried to tighten the screws of the pick guard. (a few were loose) Then I thought I'd see how it was with the PG taken off. After I'd done this and the noise had gone away, I wondered if I should leave it off. So I thought I might try it 'Au natural' for a time and see how I liked it. But the screw holes seem to be eyeing me accusingly, so I think I will fill them in. No problem to re drill later if I change my mind. But now we come to the problem. How is the best way to fill them in. They don't actually need to be invisible, just not so easily seen from afar. Can anyone help with any tips ? pic below. (notice the depth of the shine captures my cameras reflection ) Edited April 3, 2012 by daz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Who's Who Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 What about getting some black screws and screwing all the screws back in without the pickguard. That could look pretty cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pietruszka Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Given how dim stage lighting is at the best of times, I don't think any one would notice them anyway and so I wouldn't bother. I certainly haven't on my Sandberg. Just a thought. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 imo i would leave it... my jazz has no pickguard and i dig it... on a side note these basses are awsome.. i played one in a shop in Chester... cant remember the shop name... had lots of pianos at the front with the guitars at the back down the stairs?
