I'm interested in doing this. I think Scratchplates add that bit of contrast to a bass.[/quote]

I made and fitted one to a guitar ..

that's a wheely nice job

I wonder if scratchplates could be fitted with magnetic points like cavity covers are these days or if they'd look odd without screws ...

well that one doesn't have screws ..

it was attached with double-sided tape, which is ok if you don't have to take it on and off too often

I had that exact idea a few months ago but as yet I haven't acted upon it. It would be pretty cool, eh?

yeah the pedulla rapture is probably my favourite or as a cheaper alternative my TBC bass:




the wooden scratchplate on that is blatantly an idea borrowed from the pedulla
