ead Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 The bass in question has a butterscotch blonde body. What pickguard colour would you have as a replacement? I've allowed for multiple choices (so I can vote for several combinations obviously ) Thanks for your help Mr Indecisive p.s. The Management reserve the right to completely ignore all advice and purchase something really silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low End Bee Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Black is the only colour that ever looks good on any shade of bass in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Dave Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I pickguard is almost unique in it's ability to hugely alter the appearance of your instrument without damaging it in any way - and it's 100% reverseable. So......... why not choose a pickguard that has the effect of William B Punter waking the morning after the gig actually remembering you. Maybe not by name - cartainly not by performance (because , sadly , the aforementioned william is as thick as a canteen cup when it comes to music appreciation) - but by being remembered as 'that fat twat with a massive nob drawn on his banjo thingy'. It may not be perfect (and it being a nob design is not compulsory , though it is a bloody good idea) - but it is a start. I believe a certain W Punkdude esq. of this parish uses checked pickguards for these reasons. I'm a silly flowery one with dice knobs man myself. Remember - a visit to Mr Subtle is your ticket to obscurity !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassTractor Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 [quote name='mr zed' timestamp='1353601504' post='1876475'] Sorry chaps but you're all wrong. Has to be tort. Edit: on second thoughts, I was wrong and you are right: Black. [/quote] Edit: on third thoughts, you were right the first time, but it depends on the exact colour of the butterscotch. The Squier CV '50s P in butterscotch blond, for example, does great with an all black pg indeed, but a picture search for butterscotch blonds with tort pg's shows some delicately coloured basses as well. So, Mr. Undecisive, your problem is hereby solved: black or tort! Anytime. Great to be of help. best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnyboy Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I think probably black, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
