M@23 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 [quote name='markdavid' timestamp='1462396539' post='3042796'] Imo white is only an acceptable pickguard cover if the bass is all white , white pickguards on black basses just remind me of cheap starter basses [/quote] Yeah, me too. I dislike white pickguards, unless on white basses or reds, blues and green basses (probably a few other colours). Black/black/rosewood always looks classy though.

Kex Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 Well, after all that I decided NOT to paint the bass black, was 100% sure that was what i wanted (same with the Alembic i a, selling) the black pick-guard arrived and i just tried it on the existing sunburst body, and I love it! Saves messing about with the paint and so can always return it to original if I sell etc - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Horse Murphy Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) I went Tort. Black looked a bit too, ummmm, black to me Edited May 22, 2016 by Old Horse Murphy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 The best choice Nick. I think black basses with rosewood necks def favour tort pick-guards. Black basses with maple, well black pick-guards are the fave there, though have to say, tort is [b]very[/b] close second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
