Pickguard size

[PawelG]

How do I know what size pickguard is on my jazz bass? I bought one in the past and it didn't fit my bass.

Might help to tell us what Jazz bass you have!

Squier CVs are a bit of a non-standard shape, this I know as I struggled to find a direct fit for mine.

The one I bought before was off a modern American (I think) and didn’t hit my JV jazz. Now I have a Japanese 60’s FSR Jazz Bass in Walnut. I’m thinking tort pickguard...

Cream pearl would look delicious on that!

No idea

There are one or two of the sellers on eBay that have a printable template you can download and cut out.  At least, they did have for a Precision bass.  I don't recall who off the top of my head - possibly Dangleberry Music or Black Dog.  You need to follow the instructions for scaling it correctly, too, as printers often seem to have a mind of their own and churn out stuff to a different scale to what goes in.  Although that may be more down to my not actually knowing what I am doing with machines of any sort.

Vintage white custom plate. Ohhh.

Made by Jack's custom instruments in Manchester.

Thanks! Looks much creamier in real life. Very tasty.
