alexpea Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 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.

hooky_lowdown Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Any Squier or Fender (US or MIM) will fit. Lots on wdmusic website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Skybone Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, fretmeister said: These guys will make you one https://www.originalscratchplates.com/ 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
