I got an awful Tele body from eBay or somewhere and a full scale P bass neck. Needless to say that the bridge was in the wrong position so it wouldn't intonate but I didn't understand that at the time. I mixed creosote with red food colouring to stain the body and that really didn't look too bad. It had two 51 P style pickups in the Tele positions and I seem to remember that I wired up them pretty good. Think it was all firewood after a year or so 😁 X 100! Quote

It barely worked for a 12-string. The only good Fender 12-string headstock was the one on the Electric XII An MDP job? Quote

lemmywinks Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 White scratchplates, especially big ones like on P basses. Just looks cheap no matter how it's done. Quote

I was going to say I agree with you but for some reason a Rickenbacker with a white plate just works. Maybe you just get so used to a design that it becomes wrong to change it. Quote

That's because the rest of the bass is so ugly the silly scratchplate becomes a tertiary consideration after the janky shape and shoddy workmanship. 1 3 Quote
