I am looking for a replacement black pickguard and truss rod cover for and 89 4003. Also looking for a pickup surround for the same bass. Any ideas where I could locate these parts?

Check with major dealers on the pickup surround, places such as Pick of the Ricks.

I recommend Pickguardian for everything pick guard ish!

I don't think RIC trades TRCs anymore, but if your's is a standard white TRC with raised black letters, here's an easy way to convert it to a black one:

Paint the TRC with black spray can lacquer and let it dry. Carefully sand off the black paint from the raised letters. Voila, a black TRC with raised white letters! You may want to overcoat it with a clear lacquer.

+1 on Pickguardian.

And you may want to post on this Forum's Marketplace Wanted... sometimes folks will swap different color TRCs, or have an extra for sale.

What finish is your bass?
