kaliand Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Hi everbody, i need a recomendation for a pre-cbs 64/65 jazz bass pickguard replacement. I would like to buy a celluloid tortoise pickguard as close as possible (period correct) to the originals. Do you know the best place/web where to get it? No matter how expensive it is. Thank you very much!! Carles C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary mac Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Problem is if you want that authentic looking sixties tort, nothing else really comes close. Which is why, a couple of years back, when I need a pre CBS tort guard for a 63 P, I spent out the dosh on the genuine article. It took some finding, plenty of searches and e-mailing but was worth the effort and the wait. It didn't come cheap and mrs mac thought I had lost the plot, "Spending all that money on a bit of plastic from the sixties, that looks like it needs a damn good clean". Ultimately though, the bass was complete once again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately though, the bass was complete once again hehe, yes ! what madness is to spend that money for a old looking plasticized parchment, almost rubbish... but how great it looks, and how in peace you get at the end. I'm looking for everywhere but ... it's more easy to find the lost ark at this moment. And beside, I'm afraid that once i find out an original replacement, it won't fit! (after all, it's a 60-year old paper, and could have shrink or whatever) ... Thanks!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
