Sterling S.U.B Scratchplates

[Jimryan]

Afternoon all,

Does anyone know if a standard MM plate will fit one of these?. Last night I picked one up (gonna be my summer project), but the last owner sanded it for a matte effect and (generously) glued a thumb rest on it too. Hoping to order a new plate but don't want to order one that won't fit.

Cheers,

James

No idea, but I have three miscellaneous scratchplates off 'Ray-style basses, one of which might fit... I believe that none of them is actually from a Stingray, the seller couldn't enlighten me. Having just sold the bass I intended to use (one of) them for, I don' need them. I'll see if I can find them, and if you can send me detailed dimensions I'm happy to measure. I think they are all pearloid. PM me if you want to discuss this.

Was this bass bought from Facebook? I was looking at one with a glued on thumb rest but I couldn't pick it up.

Indeed it was. A stones through from my house. Very pleased with it and will be even more so when I get round to modifying it once Xmas is out the way.

I bought one of these: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SCRATCH-PLATE-Pickguard-for-MUSIC-MAN-Classic-STINGRAY-BASS-4-GUITAR-7-Colours-/191222640452"]http://www.ebay.co.u...s-/191222640452[/url] , which is described as: [i]"Pickguard for MUSIC MAN StingRay 4 Bass Guitar – designed to fit the classic 4 string StingRay models"[/i], and it fit my SBMM SUB Ray4.

The standard Music Man scratch plate will not fit the SUB. The only alternative, as far as I know, is to have a custom one made.
