Ruck Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I was thinking of saving money by buying a white scratchplate thats already cut the way I need it for my specific precision bass and leaving it in the sunshine to age. How many weeks would I have to wait for the white to mellow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffbyrne Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Longer than you think - I used to work in the rag trade in the dyeworks side & we used to send samples to Singapore for sun exposure - it was reckoned 12 weeks there equaled about 2 years here.

ambient Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 How about soaking it for a while in some very weak tea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-bbb Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 ive got a squier j with a plate like that - i think they call the colour 'parchment' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikel Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Its a scratch plate, just put it on the instrument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] But it must be a certain shade of piss before I put it on. Yes Parchment is the name they use on WDmusic. The White is too garish for the Shoreline Gold finish. Ill try the tea approach!

yorks5stringer Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 In the unlikely event we don't get 12 weeks of sunshine you could try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSboSy3IsvM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhysP Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 If you're having the scratchplate custom made anyway then just get it reliced how you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
