Replacement TRC and possibly Pickguard
good evening all! I have decided that I simply must replace the truss rod cover on my Ric bass.
It’s a 2008 factory fretless 4003.
The bass currenly has a black TRC, and a black pickguard. This bass has been modified into a single pickup fretless 4003 and I am also thinking hard about replacing the pickguard as well.
It would be a white TRC for a 2008 4003
The Pickguard would be a white 4000 style single pickup pickguard.
Any suggestions on the best source for these items?
Thanks in Advance

Pickguardian for the pickguard.
Maybe someone here would want to swap your black TRC for a white one?

Re: Replacement TRC and possibly Pickguard
I have a standard white truss rod cover that would work for you. I'm not really interested in trading for a black one though. I could sell this one for $40 shipped if you're in the U.S.
I like Rickenbacker basses, especially the good ones.

Contact this guy in the UK, you might be able to work something out?

Yep, I am at about 5 degrees north Latitude…south of the Panama canal in Medellin and international shipping into/out of Colombia can be challenging to say the least!

Back in the '00s I worked for a very small company that made a specific medical test device. I built two of them for:

Shipping to them seemed pretty straightforward compared to other countries we shipped to. What was odd was they wanted to pay us in advance (which made figuring out shipping cost a bit of a trick). Perhaps they needed to send payment at that time otherwise the funds may not have been available later?

I probably could ship internationally, I just don’t know exactly what shipping would cost on my end. You can send me a PM to explore it.

You want to ship with DHL They should take care of all the paperwork for the shipment.marantz2010 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 28, 2025 12:05 amI probably could ship internationally, I just don’t know exactly what shipping would cost on my end. You can send me a PM to explore it.

Not as simple as dropping into an envelope and throwing a bunch of stamps or a printed shipping label on it?

Good question. No idea.
