WD tortoiseshell Precision scratchplate £40

[Steve Browning]

Vintage red tortoiseshell Pbass scratchplate. On the WD website this is product number PB-405R (£71).

It was on a bass briefly but is in excellent condition. This is the type of scratchplate used in the 70's.

£40 delivered (in the UK).

Here it is. It was on a Japanese 62 reissue.

Thanks loads!! I reckon thats a bit too red for my Nate Mendel

[Steve Browning]

Ok. No problem. Hard to find good tortoiseshell plates as most (even the Fender ones) look so badly printed and unconvincing.

[lee650]

Yeah its lovely!!
It looks very red! Or is the photo making it look brighter

[Steve Browning]

I will dig out a picture of it on the bass and add it. It is quite bright but I liked the effect but I had two Bass Doc scratchplates done and they were just better.

Thanks Steve
Iknow the bass Doc from way back!! He maintained my basses for many years. Id very much like to see the pic of it on the bass. Or some better pics may help
