Need a bridge cover for 1974 Yamaha SA-70

[justlovebass]

Hi All
I have just bought a 1974 Yamaha SA-70 in beautiful condition, but it is missing the bridge cover. I live in Australia and I think I may need to go further afield. So if you have one, or know someone who has one, please let me know,

so I can make my beautiful bass 100% original. Thanks for your help.

Nice bass. I have the bridge covers, what I need is the pickguards for both my SA-70 bass and its brother, the SA-50 guitar.

Hi
When you say you have the bridge covers, I’m assuming you want to keep them, not sell them?

Actually, I checked, I thought I did, but no bridge covers, and if I did have them, I'd want to keep them, sorry. Any chance I could interest you in taking a tracing of that original pickguard, though? At least I can get the right shape on a replica pg....

Hi mate

Happy to take off the pick guard and trace it for you. Do you want to pm me with your address so I can send it to you?

I double checked, i actually do have the bass bridge cover, would you like me to get pics or measurements?

 

[justlovebass]

Both would be helpful, thanks.

I’d love to have a tracing of the pick guard for this bass! Any chance you still have one? Also, any idea what pot and capacitor values are? I’d rather leave everything intact and order new pots and have everything ready to go prior to disassembly. Lazy I guess! Thanks in advance!

I found the dimensions online and 3d printed one. Then painted it with enamel spray paint and scuffed it up a bit so it matches the pick up covers.
