Ground breaking eh.

Does anyone have a pic of a sunburst Jazz with a gold anodised pick guard they can put up?

I have a picture is bass.
I have a picture of pickguard.

I can't find a pic online of the guard on a bass!

Gah. Internet let down shocker!

Luckily it's Friday so my whole week hasn't been ruined.

If I put a gold anodised scratch plate on my jazz, will stop it humming under fluorescent strip lights.....lol!

No. It MIGHT reduce it a bit...The only way to stop hum on a Jazz is to have both pickups at the same output (eg fully up), in which state they are a humbucking pair, or retrofit proper hum-cancelling pickups, which may, of course, alter the tone somewhat. Shielding the cavities can also help. Shielding AND the metal plate might just be pretty effective also.

Mine was silent with decent shielding - Tiny fractions of an ohm in resistance
