*Where the heck does chris wolstenholme get his pickguards?!?!

those arent like form fender though, those are knock-offs

Well, I can tell you from personal experience that Fender brand pickguards are made from the same low-budget materials as the WDMusic/Allparts ones, and there is zero difference in manufacturing quality. The WD ones may be "knockoffs", but the originals are really nothing special at all.

If you want Fender brand just so you can say your bass is 100% Fender brand, then email Fender customer support and let them know exactly which model and year of bass you have, and that you want it in black. They will tell you a Fender part number, which you can then order through any Fender dealer like GC.

If you want better quality than WD/Allparts "knockoffs", then go with Pickguardian or Jeannie Pickguards, forget Fender.

i diddnt know anyone cared about anything of his outside of the effects subforum..
Yes, because god forbid anyone actually like MUSE for the music they make :rollno:

I contacted him via text message and he sent me a link to his dealer!

Secret pickguard suppliers! OMG

By the way, just making the observation that this passes as a legitimate thread, but if I try to endorse $90 audiophile electrical outlets, it gets locked. Just making the observation. See my signature.
Well being a shill is never really looked upon highly.

They may not be Fender brand, but they are excellent quality. I've had one of their pickguards on my StingRay 5 for the better part of 8 years with zero problems, and it looks great. Alot of places like GC and your basic mom & pop shops stock this brand as well, IIRC. No muss, no fuss.
