Pickguard/Scratchplate for 1990 Korean P Bass Samick Factory

[alexpea]

Hi all,

I want to replace the pickguard on my 1990 Korean P bass made in the Samick Factory.

Any leads on a brand thats a good fit? I'm after a black one.

I ordered a Harley Benton one a while from Thomann but it doesn't fit very well at all.

Thanks in advance.

Any Squier or Fender (US or MIM) will fit. 

Lots on wdmusic website.

Actually not so certain - I thought so but someone I sold a mim jazz plate to says it doesn’t his k Samick jazz.

I had a 1989 Korean Samick P bass - same as OP (only year earlier), replaced pickguard with a 2001 MIM Fender one, fitted fine.

Japanese pickguards are different, these won't fit Squier or US/MIM basses.

Maybe jazz basses are different, but OP is enquiry about their P bass.

Another recommendation for Original Scratchplates.

Take your existing scratchplate off the bass, draw round it & mark all the holes. Scan it & send to them.

I agree, and I was careful to state the issue was with a jazz, just trying to sound a note of caution as I know that aftermarket plates are a minefield
