mcnach Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) as the subject says... I just got this white MusicMan SUB, and as I had a few pickguards on various basses and lying around, I thought I'd overlay them on the white I have currently on, and see what they look like. Which do you prefer? I set the poll to allow multiple votes... in case you really like two of them and don't want to choose. So, here is number 1, the original: Number 2: white Number 3: cream Number 4: black and last, 5: a blue mirror one (looks dirty because it still has the protective plastic on it) Edited December 16, 2011 by mcnach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 I voted for white and black, as both look equally tasty, even if I probably prefer white. The cream one just makes me want to like it, like an icecream... so I would probably avoid that combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Definitely not the original check plate one. Most likely the white one... but personally I might tend toward the black one though, to coordinate with the neck/headstock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 Yeah, I think the black one has "something". It seems more "balanced", and it doesn't make me want to lick it, which is a bonus. I mean, people already disrespect bass players enough, we don't need to get a reputation of guitar-licker weirdoes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Yeah and now you've got mock-ups up I'm definitely more on the side of black. (tempted to vote now ) What would it be like with a white pup cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I was thinking earlier! But I don't know where to stop, and it led me to a white-sprayed neck as a Larry Graham tribute... only thing is Larry can carry a bass like that and he looks cool as ****, but me... well, not so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Alsatian Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I thought the white looked ace in the other thread, but now I've seen the black one, I'm veering towards that, as it matches the headstock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I can't decide. The black one really seems like it belongs there, eh? I'll probably switch between the two, depending on what I'm wearing and the colour of my handbag that evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I voted for black. I fitted a black one to mine when i first got it, and then put a Jack Daniels logo on it (very R&R) now it has a tort one which I think is very classy. Having the choice to change is great and it's an easy job on the SUB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime_BASS Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I voted the original aluminum one since Sterling Ball obviously knows better than everyone, thus the original must stay on it and if you change it we shall burn you at the stake.....
