What's up with your V63CS? Is it a CS with the CS pickguard removed?

Nice collection all the same!

Yes!
I removed the origional "signed" pickguard and replaced it with a plain white one. I still have the origional pickguard but I doubt that it will ever go back on the bass as I think that it looks better like this and it's more like Chris' bass. What do you think of my "modification"?

Nice collection!

I like the Pickguard mod to your CS and agree that it now looks more like the real thing.

I don't remember ever seeing a CS with a black nut. Did you change the nut also?

The nut IS white. It must be some wierd shadow in the pic.
Yeah, I like the white pickguard. I just wonder why Rickenbacker didn't make the CS with that or at least have the screw holes for the thumbrest like Chris' bass.
Details! Details!

[rickaddict]

Yep, that's white allright!

I vote for drilling the two holes in the pickguard.
