If anyone is looking for a new plate for their PB50 this chap Brian https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Harley-Benton-PB-50-Bass-Pickguard-PB-50-scratchplate-many-colours/114233957501?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=414488422081&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

Does them, he does the old shape and the new shape in all colours.

This one is for mine. £25

That's nice work. Need to buy the bass now I know I can customise it.

Stew.

If you buy one used try and get a rough idea when the seller bought it. 

When I took the plate through to Brian so he could make his template it was from the November 2017 run. That plate is good for PB-50's going back to 2013.

March 2018 Thomann used a different factory and the plates changed to thinner horns. 

 

Dropped the 2018 plate off at the weekend so he now offers both just like @Basscabman said.

I ordered my third PB50 and there seems to be a new third line of basses on the marked now. - I do own a PB50 of the old series (Wilkinson)  and one of the (untill now) new series (Roswell), ordered new scratchplates from that guy for both on ebay and they all fitted 100%!

My new PB50 (Sept. 2021) now has again different screw positions! Just in case someone can give this information to the guy who does the scratchplates.

Edit: Contacted him over ebay.

Likely he took a well deserved break. Brian works 7 days a week, often doing 12 hour shifts.
