Just a quick thanks for the responses guys - I'll be going with Pickguardian (once I get paid!).

Will stick a photo up after it's done.

One more question though - would the pickup cover be compatible with a horseshoe surround?

Yes, it fits perfectly.

Brilliant! Cheers.

While we are on the subject of pickguards.... I want to change my black guard for a white one on my '89 4003s. I spoke with Kenny @ RIC today about my trc and when we got around to the pickguard he said he wasn't so sure that a current 4003 guard would line up with the screw holes on my bass and said Pickgaurdian may be my best bet to have one made. While I certainly wouldn't doubt Kenny's knowledge, does anyone have any real world experience with current off the shelf pickguards (from either RIC or Pickguardian) fitting on a late '80's 4003? If the difference is very slight maybe I could live with it.

Matt, the best thing you can do, is trace your current pickguard and then send the tracing to Tony at Pickguardian. Then you are sure to get a good fit.

Thanks for the advice Joey. That's what I'll do.
