NoirBass Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) I am the lucky owner of an old '69 Telecaster bass. When it came to me it hadn't got the original scratch plate. What I'd like is to source a replica, problem being I don't have the original. Can anyone recommend someone who could do it and would I need to find someone who has an original to trace?

Cat Burrito Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 The Bass Doc on here would do it, I'm sure but can't help you on an original to trace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tredders Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) +1 for the Bass Doc. Howard just refinished my Telecaster bass, and made a beautiful aged looking scratch plate. I doubt you'll need an original - Howard knows all when it comes to Fender stuff! Edited September 30, 2013 by tredders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoirBass Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Brilliant, thanks for the info. I'm off to PM the Doc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin_lindsay Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) What colour is your bass? Ive got a nitro plate that has turned slightly creamy - might be suitable for you? EDIT - actually, I've just looked, the 69 has a different screwhole layout from my mid 50s style. Sorry bud.

NoirBass Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Bit of a longshot; After a quick chat with Howard it seems we need a template, So do any of you lovely people on Basschat have an original Tele bass (68 / 69) scratch plate they could trace?

tredders Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Can't help you, I'm afraid. Mine's a '73, so different style to yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
