Pow_22 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Evenin all. Anyone know where i can pick up a tort scratch plate that will fit a squire bass? I believe standard fender ones wont fit and i cant find the colour im after on ebay (found one but its just listed as ''p bass style scratch plate'' so not sure it will fit).

neepheid Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Correct, the standard Fender ones won't fit. It is highly unlikely that you will find a perfect fit. Your best bet is to fill all the holes and drill new ones to match the standard Fender plate. That's what I've done for my Squiers. If you really can't or don't want to fill and drill then you could get your Squier one copied. I believe Sims Custom [url="http://www.simscustom.com/"]http://www.simscustom.com/[/url] offer such a service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_B Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I replied to your other post about this [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=76501&st=0&p=738417&#entry738417"]here...[/url] A custom job is a viable option, that doesn't have to be expensive.

Pow_22 Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Cheers for the links. Its a cheapo ive picked up off ebay that im lookin to do a mini project on. Its sunburst so for me HAS to have a tort plate. Then i plan to ''relic'' it by sanding down parts and finally adding a bridge cover. Dont want to spend too much as its only back up to my Bison bass. Might see if anywhere will cover the old pickguard in a tort vinyl or somethin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow_22 Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Just found a blank square piece of tort material on ebay, 3 ply but ill just have to check it big enough for me to make my own using the old one as a template. Size is 295mm x 250mm x 2.4mm so should be ok i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
