51/54 Precision scratchplate

[slobluesine]

is there any difference between a 51 & 54 Precision scratchplate?

seems they shrunk the scratchplate to fit the contoured round edges on the horns of the 54 Precisions. the reisuue plates are for slab 51's and cant be modified as the screw holes are too near the edge, BUGGA so, can anyone on here make me one?

No problem.

Howard made me a single ply black p/g for my G&L.

Sorry - I have a WBW which may have fitted but not black. I think the Bassdoc is probably your best bet for an exact fit.

This is correct. I'm told the Fender Squier Mike Dirnt bass has a blackguard, that fits the contour body, like this (This ones a B/W/B, but you could shop around for a single ply?);
