Does anyone have any P bass pickguards they are not using due to not fitting or other issues?
I have about 5 pickguards I do not need but want to try some other ones to see if they fit.
I can post pics if anyone's interested

    I have the original BWB one from a 2014 Squier VM Precision Bass. Exact same screw hole alignment as the WBW Fender Pure Vintage 'guard that replaced it.

    The only "issue" was that, in my opinion, BWB looked stupid on a metallic red body.
    Be seeing you.

    I’m after a tort-ish or bwb guard that might fit a MIM P bass if you have one and want some cash for.

    Yes, please. Post pics. 

    If the mods notice this listing, they might insist that you post a notional price for each pickguard and/or for the job lot. (Forum rules, innit?) You can still negotiate privately.

    Unclear whether this is aimed at me or the OP. Needless to say, OP gets priority.

    Here are the ones I have. Some of these are generic in terms of screw holes and a couple were custom ordered for a Japanese Bass (Crews Maniac and Momose)  so I cannot guarantee they will fit.



    1. Off a Fender Japan P bass


    2. Chinese guard off ebay


    3. Celluloid Nitrate guard off ebay around £70, fits 70's P bass. thicker black ply. Looks pretty good and I might keep this one for the future, unless I can get a trade for one that will fit one of mine.


    4. Replacement pickguard from Tiny Tone, this was the 2nd one I got:


    5. Celluloid pickguard by Tiny Tone:

    In that spirit, you should have first pick of the 'guards.  :)

    What I'm looking for is a 60's dark red tort. I would like more red and dark red, than yellow, although some is ok. 
    As long as it fits, I'll try it though. thanks

    I'm only looking for tort at the moment so go for the bwb funkfingers. The only other pattern I could be interested in is an aluminum pickguard for the Phil Lynott look. 

    If we're trading these pickguards then there's no cost. If anyone wants to buy any of these off me, I'd charge something like £20 including postage as I have no need for them. The 70's one cost £70 and the last 2 from TinyTone for £100 for both. I'd offer a 50% discount on those prices so the tiny tones are £25. The 70's nitrate would be £40 but I'm still holing out hope I can get that to fit one of my basses, otherwise I'll get rid of it too.

    Thanks for looking and good luck

    @Hydra19 Is this you saying that you have no objection to me offering my Squier BWB 'guard to BoopDeWoop?
    Be seeing you.
