AndyTravis Posted Sunday at 16:58 Posted Sunday at 16:58 Pickguards being ordered tonight. just think that SoloKing will charge £25-£30 plus waiting for a few weeks and possible import. Brian Pilanz will do great work so he’s sorting me and @Machinesout with my pickguard going as a template. Going aged white Pearl for LPB and aged tort for black. tried chrome knobs on last night - they don’t look right… 1 Quote

I actually quite like the small black ones. They're quite distinctive. Quote

I might feel differently when the pickguards are changed. i have a drawer full of controls…maybe jazz style knobs will work. 1 Quote
HeadlessBassist Posted Sunday at 17:42 Posted Sunday at 17:42 Did you just email your credit card details across to SoloKing for the scratch plates? Quote
ezbass Posted Sunday at 17:42 Posted Sunday at 17:42 The original Fender Roscoe Beck lV came with chrome knobs, but the V came with black, Strat type knobs, which I think would be my choice. 1 Quote
