Motocross_nick Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Hi all, recently started project build of a p bass. Almost done (except for pickups and pickguard) but unsure of what colour pickguard to have. The bass is black and has a maple fretboard on the neck. Could i please have some pics of basses like this so i can decide which pickguard colour to go for? cheers, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_ferret Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I think there are only 2 options IMO. Black or mirror depending on whether the JJ or Phil Lynott vibe fits your gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallicat V3.0 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 black ftw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgraham Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Definitely black, specifically 3-ply black-white-black so you could a nice pickguard highlight. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
