Deep Thought Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Oh, it had to black, didn't it? Is that one of the black limited editions or a standard one with a black scratchplate? One of a very few basses I'd consider selling my Shuker for-although I've yet to play one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] There's some very interesting stories attached to this bass but one is that it had a different style scratch plate at some point, hence the screw holes. The black one appears to be via Rickenbacker themselves but was not a standard pickguard at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
