EmmettC Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 In my quest to get rid of gear, I've found myself with some more gear. My favourite is this Musicman Stingray Classic 5, it is a really great bass, and the treble control is exactly what I wanted it to be. The only problem is the black/rosewood combination is a bit boring, so I'm thinking a new scratch plate could make it look a little better. Any ideas on colour? I'm thinking tort, or maybe clear but with a sticker or logo underneath? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highfox Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Stick with the black, it's a classic. I put a white pearl guard on my black and maple Ray but went back to the black after some time, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 A dark red tort would lend a vintage air to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Valdemar Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I would leave it, or go for one of those matt black scratchplates they used to use. A mirror scratchplate would be awesome though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJE Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I would definitely go tort or find a cool black and white image to go underneath a clear guard like Gail Ann Dorsey does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmettC Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 That's what I was thinking, I'm a bit of a Star Wars geek, so maybe an imperial insignia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The black one on it now looks good for the white edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deedee Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) I must admit I was thinking of changing the plate on my EBMM Sterling 4HH. Same as the op’s colours at present ie black, rosewood, black plate 🤔 Replacements for the 4HH Sterling do seem a bit scarce though.
