benebass Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Hi - just bought a great Squier Classic Vibe Jazz from the forum, but I'm thinking of changing the stock scratchplate. I'm not sure whether a standard spare will fit - looks like it will, but I was wondering if anyone has done this & has any advice on a good one to go for please? Also, I'm thinking I might like to have a '70s-style thumb rest above the strings (had a Fender years ago that was nicked & I loved it). I've found a few '70s scratchplates online with pre-cut holes, but not sure if everything will line up on the Squier, as it's derived from a '62 Jazz. Can anyone help please? Cheers, B.

gafbass02 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I think the geddy lee plates fit. You can find em on eBay or at basspartsresource Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 You can always fill and redrill. I've done this for a few Squier bodies now to "convert" them to a standard hole pattern. Of course that means the stock one won't fit any more. Up to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benebass Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Hi - thanks for the help. Decided to take a punt on a cheap plate off eBay over the weekend, so will see how that goes. Gone off the idea of the thumbrest - after trying it blutacked on for about five minutes yesterday I realised that it might be a bad move... Cheers, B.
