PJ Club

The 'Anaconda' one is a Warmoth That I ordered without holes. Worked great, just keep in mind that Warmoth doesn't put any shielding on their pickguards

I use copper tape applied only surrounding the pu openings and over the control cavity on the underside of the pg/control plate. No need to do a full shield matching the pg. (overkill) Buy your copper tape at the hardware store - ask for "slug tape." (cheaper than Stew Mac-same stuff)
 
Cannot get over this dude.
I started on a passive pawn-shop AriaProII PJ in 1991, and I love that what I'm playing now feels like the ultimate manifestation of that thing. Just feels really funny that a few dozen years (and a few dozen basses) later, I'd be totally transfixed by a bass with this same setup.

OK, anyone who has payed attention to any of my previous posts knows that I'm a bit of a pick-guard Whore. Has anyone tried this site yet?

It's the first site I've seen that sells the pick-guards with the 4 holes needed for standard PJ Knobs/Output jacks. I've been ordering my pick-guards from Warmoth with no holes drilled and then drilling them myself.

And yes, I need to spend more time playing my bass instead of constantly modding it, but I just can't help myself!

I'll throw a pic of what I did to my plain Black pick-guard just for Kicks:

You may want to try WD Music? They’ve made me a couple pickguards w/wo the specified holes, to include active/passive switch that I’ve ordered for my Fender American Elite Precisions.

I don't think there's a PJ club. Lots of people play them. That Victor Wooten fella plays one. How about a club? Here's my 2002 passive PJ deluxe:
