I actually have a bit of a thing for single ply scratchplates but the white middle of a b/w/b makes the scratchplate stand out nicely against the black lower bout and horn of a sunburst. Unfortunately the options provided in the OP are wrong and not quite so wrong 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the options provided in the OP are wrong and not quite so wrong 😁 Hrm, I do have an interest in this, because at xmas, I bought a (left handed) Bass Collection 'Jive' (Jazz), for m'lado (lefty only available in old man 'burst with old man white scratchplate). So I was thinking - solid black or BWB might modernise the thing, a bit... plus a paintjob would be better... Anyhoo, it's nice to hear from somebody who's right! 7 minutes ago, Skinnyman said: And howdy-do-dee to you, young Sir. Ah sho' am glad to make yo' acquaintance.

That's fine, you old fool - except you're in the 1890s, and the Jazz wasn't invented 'til 1960. 😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulmcnamara Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I like pearl scratch plates but a sunburst jazz needs a tort s/p. The older ones are slightly different as you can see in my '83 Fullerton re issue........... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray5 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 (edited) I dunno where you woz taught, but I woz always taught, a guard on a 'burst Jazz has gotta be tort! Edited June 15, 2019 by Stingray5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davo-London Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Tort for PM. Don't like black basses so my view on that is irrelevant. The only exception is all black (body and scratchplate) with maple neck. That's the only time I like black basses. Peace Davo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
