Bass Scratchplate ex Sid Vicious ?[/url] Oh dear what a load of nonsense in his listing. I wonder if he'll acknowledge my msg I sent: [quote]Hi, I can clear up the mystery of the Sid Vicious connection for you. This is definitely NOT a scratchplate from a 70s or earlier bass. All Precision bass pickguards before 1982 had extra holes for the chrome pickup cover and thumbrest. These holes are not present in yours. It looks single-ply rather than three ply of a genuine fender and there is at least one other screw hole missing as well as no half-moon cutout at the neck butt. I suggest you edit your listing - unless it is your intention to mislead. This is not a Fender Pickguard and when it was made Sid Vicious had already been dead several years. Hope this helps.[/quote] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budget bassist Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 If he saw sid vicious playing a bass with a black scratchplate why has he decided that the white one belonged to him? what an absolute moron. And it has had a poor paint job? Eh? this guy is pure stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Ha! the listing has now been changed. I'm off to carve the word "funk" in the neck heel of a squier so I can put it on ebay with the caption "Jamerson?" & pretend to know nothing about anything.

waynepunkdude Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I'm going to write 'arm the homeless' onto a white P-bass, could it be the late great Zach De La Rocha's ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
