Crescent parts?

I'm restoring a Crescent bass with the hope of selling it for a bit more that I bought it for. It's a bit scratched up here and there, and it needs new pickups and a pickguard.

However, I can't find parts anywhere online. Can anybody help? :help:
(Also, general advice for a newbie is greatly appreciated.)
 
If you've scoured eBay and contacted the manufacturer and came up empty handed, you'll probably have to go aftermarket for both parts. There's likely a pickup that can be made to work and there are lots of custom pickguard makers.

That said, it's doubtful that you can sell a Crescent for a profit unless you got it for free, especially if it needs parts.

And that said, good luck.

Thanks for the advice. I got it for 10$ at an auction.

I'll look around online a bit more.
