RhysP Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I've just picked myself up a used MIJ Fender Precision in a rather fetching Fiesta Red. I'm not too keen on the white scratchplate however & will probably change it for a black one, or possibly a tort if I can find one I like (not usually a fan of tort but I've seen some pictures where it's looked quite good on a red bass). I seem to remember reading somwhere that MIA & MIM Fender scratchplates aren't compatible with MIJ models but I'm not sure if this is correct or not - anybody care to offer some advice? I could get one made I suppose but it's not that important - I'll just stick with the white one if it's going to cost a packet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwoff Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 If it is a standard 13 hole the plates generally fit, I say generally as I have heard some people having problems but they are normally fine for USA, Mexican and Japanese instruments.

KiOgon Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I've had a plate from this guy on ebay & it fitted perfect on a MIM, pretty good quality & price - recommended http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PRECISION-BASS-SCRATCH-PLATE-Pick-Guard-USA-Mex-P-Bass-fit-in-9-Colours-/190860480321?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&var=&hash=item2c702bcf41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Who's Who Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Why don't you just fill the existing holes, and re drill for the new scratch plate of your choice. I personally think a tort plate on a fiesta red P bass looks awesome. It would be real shame to spoil a bass like that with a white plate, but that's just me!
