dave_bass5 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Guys. Im not a great lover of white pick guards so looking to change the one on my new Lakeland CAR Duck dunn. So id like to see some other CAR bass's with different pick guards if anyone has them. Im edging towards a brown tort (again) but as this is the first CAR ive owned not sure how it will look. Cheers.

dave_bass5 Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 Cheers guys. I was going to go for a black one as i have one on my HW1 Jazz but its a darker red so not sure its right for CAR. Still quite fancy a tort but i dont like the red one much but the white is nice. Hamster, Is that a gold anodizsed pick guard? I had a MIM 50's classic for a few days last year and liked the anodized pick guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very fragile plastic of some sort. I had to be very careful drilling it. Then after I'd has a white pearl on the DJ4 for a while I got to thinking that the same would look good on the DD. I must confess with the white pearl, the blocks and the white binding it looks a bit gaudy, but who cares cos' it sounds great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DS seems to make it look less classy in my eyes (but we all see things differently) but the white pearl PG looks classy. Mine has the standard fralin.

Hamster Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 A Cream or Black pearloid :wub: Hamster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 99% sure its going to be black now. Black sparkle if i can get it but if not plain black. Of course this could all change if i see more pics so i might stop looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiperi0n Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 i think that with a Car bass the classic would be a white pickguard....or at a second choice a gold anodized.... anyway i would prefer a classic white! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not in a great hurry but i will change it. Its not that its bad, just that im not used to having something so bright. My Jazz is red although its darker with black PG and i really like the look of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
