Al Krow Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 Love to see what PGs you've got adorning your basses! And if you've had a custom job please share details of where you had them done. Quote
AndyTravis Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 All of these bits have been done by @TimAl who trades as gig.ink He’s actually become a good mate - he’s a genius, if you’re after custom design stuff - absolutely fantastic. 1 Quote
AndyTravis Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) And I’ve used the Bass Doc a couple of times for more traditional pickguards. He did me a white pearl and a black BB pair. Edited April 8, 2020 by AndyTravis 1 Quote
Cat Burrito Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 My collection includes 2 Fenders with custom pickguards (courtesy of Greasy Groove in Canada) and the Rickenbacker pickguard is from that Ric spares place, Ricky Sounds. The Ric up close And my Precision when it was white 1 Quote
Al Krow Posted April 8, 2020 Author Posted April 8, 2020 @AndyTravis - that's one amazing collection of PGs! I've independently just come across Tim and was thinking of getting him do me a custom PG, so it's great to also get your recommendation of him. @Cat Burrito - gotta 'fess that I have a thing for white P-basses and that final pic grabbed my attention! 1 Quote

scrumpymike Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 Here's the bass that AndyJr recently made for me with its ebony-veneered plastic guard. SOOO subtle and perfect against the oiled black finish. 1 Quote

Not sure if they're the same spec as fitted to 6-string guitars but they work superbly well. AndyJr sourced them from Artec as a low-cost, look-alike equivalent to the SDs fitted as OE to the Fender Rascal bass. The SD's are over £300 a set and I think these were around £60. If I back-to-back with the Rascal Andy re-bodied for me (below), there's a slight difference in tonal quality but only I know that and it's close enough to make no difference. Sorry! Just realised I've posted a pic of an un-guarded bass on a topic about pick-guards 🤔 Edited April 9, 2020 by scrumpymike Quote
Oopsdabassist Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 Another big Thumbs up for @TimAl he's done a couple for me now, the SUB just a couple of weeks back. Lovely chap, and very quick, even given the current climate,. 1 Quote
