AndyTravis Posted April 27 Posted April 27 Pickguards being ordered tonight. just think that SoloKing will charge £25-£30 plus waiting for a few weeks and possible import. Brian Pilanz will do great work so he’s sorting me and @Machinesout with my pickguard going as a template. Going aged white Pearl for LPB and aged tort for black. tried chrome knobs on last night - they don’t look right… 1 Quote

I actually quite like the small black ones. They're quite distinctive. Quote

They're quite distinctive. They’ve grown on me. I might feel differently when the pickguards are changed. i have a drawer full of controls…maybe jazz style knobs will work. 1 Quote
HeadlessBassist Posted April 27 Posted April 27 Did you just email your credit card details across to SoloKing for the scratch plates? Quote
ezbass Posted April 27 Posted April 27 The original Fender Roscoe Beck lV came with chrome knobs, but the V came with black, Strat type knobs, which I think would be my choice. 1 Quote
