Squier Affinity P Bass Pick Guard

[Pow_22]

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).

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.

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.

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

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
