If anyone has an Ernie Ball Stingray 5 clear pickguard they would like to swap for a black one that would be great.
It would have to be an earlier design SR5, as the pickup shape has changed, the newer pickups have lugs that stick out for the mounting screws, the one I'm after is made for a rectangular pickup with rounded corners and no lugs.

That's going to be a tough one to find. Not many people would put a clear guard on an SR5 because the routing/preamp would show.

If you have a dremmel and a few other hand tools it is easy to make one.

I'd really like to see one like that. I think it would be pretty interesting to see all the wiring and controls.

Every now and again someone brings this up and we always end up posting the same Basscentral pic.

Thanks for the posts.
I've decided to put the original black pickguard back on the bass. Years ago, I removed it and made a small copper plate that just covers the routing.
It actually looks great with the black and natural ash.
