Having recently got hold of a 2005 USA Fender Jazz Deluxe 4 string bass I wish to replace the tort shell pickguard. I thought these would be ten a penny on ebay and on the internet. I can't find ANY in the UK!

It's basically one of these for a 22 fret cutaway body '98 upwards.

Any UK suppliers????!!!!

Thanks in advance.

I've seen some of the cheap WD plates up close and they weren't good.
Horrible bland print so make sure you get a very good look at one before buying, IMO.
A quality bass is worth a quality plate.
I've used Sims but they aren't regarded as cheap, but they really worked on my bass... and
a custom cut as well...so send in your old plate as a template, assuming it fits perfectly in the first place

I couldn't find one in the UK after trying really hard and weeks of searching. Ended up buying off ebay from an American supplier. Total cost was around £45 inc delivery, import duty, customs, handling fee etc if I remember correctly. Genuine Fender item and good quality. It would cost similar to have a quality one made in the UK - I know because I did some research. If you want one, I'm afraid you're going to have to go down this route and bite the bullet.
