gothpugs Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Now I'm not one that has much knowlege on the technical aspects of basses, so I need a little help here I don't know whether there are universal guards or whether I have to get one specifically for my yammy. basically I'm wanting a scratchplate for a Yamaha RBX170, I'm after something very cheap as its just to collect autographs on, and I don't use a plec when I play, so it doesn't actually have to be very strong/thick/protective as its never going to have to guard the body against a plec. So basically something as cheap as possible, ideally around £5, would consider a second hand one if anyone has one, if not can someone link me up or reccommend me to a place where I can get one.

hillbilly deluxe Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) I dont think that you will have much luck finding one for that model bass,unless you modify a plate that has a cut out for a P pickup.IIRC your bass has a reversed P pickup ? you could get one custom made,or make one yourself,but that would cost more.
