I picked up an active MIM Player Plus Precision Bass this past weekend and love it - but I want to replace the mint pickguard with a tort one.

Does anyone have recommendations? I'm having a bit of a hard time finding options given the knob count of the active version

What’s your budget?

You could buy a cheap 13 hole tort guard, hope the screws line up and drill two new holes yourself for the control configuration you need.

Or, you could do a tracing of the mint guard and send it to a custom maker like spitfire, lavaguards, or avantguard.

The former could run you as little as ten bucks if you don’t mind the low quality tort. The latter will run you $150-$350 if you want the top shelf tort.
 
Thanks for the follow-up, i never considered trying to drill out a cheapo

Budget is under $150 (over $50 seems like a lot for a pickguard, but i guess the tort world is different)

Since the initial post, i stumbled on a few options that look like they should fit - will probably go with WD

links of what i found in case someone stumbles on this post in the future:
