Where are we going to get scratchplates made these days?

As above, who's good for replacement scratchplates these days?

Anything that isn't bog standard Fender, best get the original cloned for no surprises when fitting the new one.

Brian has those, listed in his "Pickguards for various bass models" section.

Size is 'cat 3', £40 for most colour options, £42 for carbon fibre, £50 for transparent or mirror finish.

Awesome stuff, thank you!

 

EDIT: He has the passive, two knob, version listed.  I've messaged him to see if he has or can make the active five knob for me.

 

EDIT 2: Spoken to Brian. Am going to send my original to him to copy.  All is good.
