dang! Today the tortoise shell pick-guard that I found on eBay arrived and the screw holes aren't even close.
I thought this would've been a standardized thing but this is essentially unusable on my 2001 P-bass. Is there any way to determine what model P-bass this fits?
It's such a beautiful guard... I think I'll go cry now...
Hi Mike how much was that pick-guard? if the price is right and you want to sell it I am building a bass, maybe I could use it.
Isn't that wacky? I've wanted to find a cool tortoise guard for my Jazz, but without a tracing it's a crap shoot. Same with most any Fender guards, gotta go with a tracing or go with luck.

Some people are like Slinkies . . . not really good for anything, but you
still can’t help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.
Hey Davey, yeah it is whacky! I'll take a tracing with me to make sure next time. You live, you learn! In the meantime Winston got a real nice guard for his new custom built. Thanks Winston!
Mike thanks for the nice guard and smooth transaction, I wish you and Davey luck in finding the correct guards, I was lucky :)
Hey! My lucky day at "The Great American Guitar Show" (just outside of Philly).
I found the right pickguard!! Still had the protective plastic too... not as good a deal as the eBay one that Winston has, but I'm happy and the bass looks great!
Happy ending!
