  • I had purchased this pickguard a few months ago and finally have gotten around to modifying it and installing it on my Squier by Fender Contemporary 5 String Jazz bass. The bass has two soapbar style pickups but the pickguard has a jazz pickup cutout. The templates and jigs were fun to make and I think the end result looks really good.

    Man I wish you were in the states. I've been dying to change my pick guard out for my contemporary bass. Can't believe they don't sell them anywhere online!

      @@GinoVee Gino, the cost of the pickguard is about $25.00 US; then the mod would be about $60; Shipping about $15? I prefer to fit them to the bass because they always need some filling ... unless you are handy😁

    Greetings my friend. I saw every video in your channel. I think you make an amazing work. About this video I have a questions: what kink of pickguard did you buy? I am searching in Amazon but I can’t decide. I want to do the exactly modification that you did, also I want to put a control plate with traditional jazz bass knobs. What do you think? I will appreciate your help, I really like this bass but I want to change its look. Hugs from Cuba

    Hi there. Beautiful job my friend. you make it look so easy 😍. Do you think that it’s possible to put a control plate from fender jazz bass on this model? I have the exactly bass from the video and I will like to put that chrome plate down the knobs. What do you think about that?
    Great video by the way, Very explained and precise. I am sorry about my English, I am from Cuba

      Hola, Damian! Thanks for watching the video- you can buy a plate with 4 holes online. It should fit perfectly but the check the specs before buying. I hope you have subscribed to my channel?

    Is there any chance you can do this for my bass, I am also very tired of my white pickguard and cannot find a substitute online. Please let me know, I'm located in Australia and would love to know what you would charge.
