BassAdder60 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Which one ? Slight dilemma and that is finding 10hole PBass pickguards in the U.K. at a sensible price 13 hole versions have extra holes around the vol/ tone/ Jack area and appear to have no body under them IE routing is different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncle psychosis Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Pretty sure I got a pickguard for my Vintera jazz from earlpilanz on ebay. I'd be amazed if he doesn't do a P equivalent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dov65 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 👆what he said up there. Drop him a msg thru his eBay shop, chances are he’ll have it on file….failing that send him the original to copy. Good spud is Brian 👍 🏴 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pea Turgh Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 A thought occurred to me - the aluminium plate has less screw holes as it’s stiffer/stronger, so doesn’t need as much support as the plastic. Maybe standard 10 hole scratchplate doesn’t exist for that reason? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think around the controls and Jack socket where the 13hole guards have the extra holes are perhaps for that very reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Mmm, black on red, tasty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAdder60 Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 And .. for those who may think just screw a 13 hole guard on the issue is there isn’t any wood under the cavity area for the extra screws to go ! Hence why it’s more tricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
