Basscabman Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Does anyone know If a standard fender scratchplate will fit this bass? 14 screw holes? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinB Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I have one of these in Satin Pewter Metallic. It's only got 13 screw holes. Haven't tried an official Fender scratchplate, but a generic 13-hole one needed quite a lot of filing around the neck and pickups, and a couple of screw holes had to be moved slightly. Another fun thing about it is that the bridge J pickup is actually a (shorter) neck pickup, so you can't swap in a standard PJ set without routing 🙄. Still a great bass though!

I dropped a set of quarter pounders straight in my Indonesian P-Bass Special. I can't offer any advice on the scratchplate though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the moral of the story is "check the measurements" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
