I got one from WD Music - [url="http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/category/Pickguards/Fender_Basses"]http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/category/Pickguards/Fender_Basses[/url] Have a look at the Jazz Bass Mexican section, they've got a good selection. [attachment=6909:MIMScratchplate1.JPG] [attachment=6910:MIMScratchplate2.JPG] The photos above are of my MIM Jazz with its WD Music scratchplate. As David Nimrod said; the fit isn't perfect. I had to trim the scratchplate around the pickup, I've got Wizard 84's pickups. The recesses for the pickup cover mount screw holders were too small on the neck side (I hope that makes sense). It was very quick and easy to enlarge them with some small files. Also, as you can see in the closeup, it doesn't match up with the control plate. It's about 2m narrower on each side, which I can live with.

Thanks for the response bass_ferret. I think you're correct. The original post made me very interested as my bass just didn't match up. I'd go and have a laugh about it with the owner of the shop that sold it to me if he was still alive. To my eyes it's very well made, doesn't give me shoulder ache, sounds and plays very well. The low 'B' doesn't even flap and it's electronics are very quiet. Also, I've never had to tweak the truss rod and it's in near mint condition. Whoever made it is capable of making very good instruments. It's not my main bass, but I'll hang on to it for its novelty value. I may even buy a real SGC Nanyo SB320 some day, if I can sneak it past the Missus. Cheers

I have a Bass Collection SB100? series active 5 string bass that I would like to know more about. It's made in China, serial number 000145. I purchased it from a local music shop about 5 years ago to try a 5 string. It plays beautifully and has a great tone. I have attached some photo's of it (I hope) and would be grateful for any more information about it.
