charic Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 White perloid would be, ok imo. Red tort i cant imagine being nice at all :S Personally, brushed metal for that i think. First plate that came into my head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charic Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 (edited) Hmm, seems a different blue to me. Plus its a jazz, the chrome gives it a nice offset. Altho i have to say.. first time i ever liked tort there. Still a vote for brushed metal for me tho... goes in search of a bass with pic found a blue with tort... kinda looks like a bruise there: [url="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c1/Jeordie_White.jpg"]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c...ordie_White.jpg[/url] Edited February 17, 2008 by charic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Bolton Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 +1 for both black and white pearloid. I put a black one on my black Precision, and white pearl on my Sage Green Jazz, and pretty as it looks, I doubt I'll ever gig with the Jazz again. It looks too Mark Hoppus now, the Black/Black Precision looks more serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a Lake Placid Blue Lakland JO5 that had a white plate fitted. I was also given a white perloid plate with it which I changed it to, and it looks lush now.

Jono Bolton Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 [quote name='charic' post='142061' date='Feb 17 2008, 07:23 PM']Umm.. its a blue bass :brow:[/quote] Yes, but I was merely pointing out that as it's a metallic finish (like my jazz), putting a white pearl plate on it's gonna make him look like he's just escaped from New Found Glory. If that's the look he's after then that's the plate for him. The black would look better IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artisan Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 (edited) oh poo ,thanks for the replies guys some nice ideas,unfortunately i'm even more confused now. have to say though a white pearloid or gold anodised jobbie sounds very nice. but where the bloody hell can i get 'em-WD don't seem to do 'em for a MIM & i'm far too thick to buy a sheet of owt & make one meself.

Buzz Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 (edited) +1 to the brushed metal idea, something from The Aurora Project (or a similar place, I think Allparts or WD to brushed 'plates as well), and black is alright, but I do like white on it, so white perloid would be another good one. Brown tort might work on it, red tort is too garish imo. [s]Odd suggestion, how's the routing under it? Perhaps it would look alright with a cut down control plate on it (someone on here does it to their P's, looks pretty good).[/s] Just read it's a MIM, which means gaping route to the pup, so ignore this little suggestion.

Tait Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 (edited) i think it looks good as it is, dont bother changing it. EDIT: if you do change it, dont go for tort! EDIT 2: by the way, what colour is that? and is it a mex standard? Edited February 18, 2008 by lwtait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
