Members Gaui Posted September 29, 2005 Members Posted September 29, 2005 Just added a new pickguard on my Essex, and it looks really bad ass! Also moved the thumbrest and removed the upper pickup cover. In this shipment I also got a bad ass II bridge, but I got it in gold and Im not sure if Im gonna use it or send it back and get one in chrome. Here come the pics! Before: and after: as you can see it turned out really well...
Members Tim in WV Posted September 29, 2005 Members Posted September 29, 2005 I much prefer the before.....I gotta get me one of those....and keep it stock.... sorry dude. Bit I dont have to like it, only you do....
Members zenfascist Posted September 29, 2005 Members Posted September 29, 2005 Ahh good old cream/tortoiseshell...almost like Sid Vicious's P-bass.
Members zenfascist Posted September 29, 2005 Members Posted September 29, 2005 'cept his was closer to a pure white and it had a rosewood board.
Members Bag_End Posted September 29, 2005 Members Posted September 29, 2005 It's got that nice vintage look with the Tortoise pickguard. The white pickguard looks nice too.
Members HypnoToad Posted September 30, 2005 Members Posted September 30, 2005 This sure is a change for the better. Tort + cream just can
Members Tlaloc Posted September 30, 2005 Members Posted September 30, 2005 I dig tortoise shell pickguards. The pup cover looked pretty cool though, but probably wont work as well with the new pickguard. Nice though!
Members Retrovertigo Posted September 30, 2005 Members Posted September 30, 2005 very nice, indeed.that white pickguard looked so bland.
Members DerekDRP Posted September 30, 2005 Members Posted September 30, 2005 luv your Essex bud. thats the same color and style that donold duck dun had int he blues brotherz ( just a little fyi )
Members Gaui Posted September 30, 2005 Author Members Posted September 30, 2005 Thanks for the replies, so, should I put the gold BA II bridge on, or ship it back, wait another to weeks and get the chrome one? Also next step in my modding is a set of bartolini Js

Members pbass_groovin Posted September 30, 2005 Members Posted September 30, 2005 +1 nice one. That pickguard makes it look older now. Nice neck too
Members PrestiaRules Posted September 30, 2005 Members Posted September 30, 2005 where did you order the pick guard from? Did you have to alter it?
Members bassballs Posted September 30, 2005 Members Posted September 30, 2005 Nice! I like it! Good choice...
Members Gaui Posted September 30, 2005 Author Members Posted September 30, 2005 Originally posted by PrestiaRules where did you order the pick guard from? Did you have to alter it? I ordered it from http://www.guitarpartsresource.com/ I did have to file it around the neck pocket, around the pickups and control plate. Some of the holes fitted, but I had to drill some new ones.
