Guest MoJo Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) Recently Just picked up a 3TS Jazz Bass this afternoon, rosewood fingerboard, Mother of Plastic block inlays. The previous owner has removed the pickguard for a Jaco vibe. I want to replace it but can’t decide on which colour to go for. Would appreciate your input Edited May 15, 2021 by MoJo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 3 ply BWB on sunburst always looks classy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) 3 TS... 3 tone sunburst? I dont do tort, and like more wood so if it dont need one then without, if ya got holes and to keep the line then clear, then black for simple, then off white for a more classic look Edited May 15, 2021 by PaulThePlug 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I’ve gone for black, to me 3TS/black/rosewood & blocks screams 70s. If it hadn’t had blocks I’d probably have gone tort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont do tort, and like more wood so if it dont need one then without, if ya got holes and to keep the line then clear, then black for simple, then off white for a more classic look This thread pops up as I am looking at jazz bodies and necks, contemplating an all black jazz with NO guard and a black control plate. I hate that mine has screw holes in it. My local luthier said he could make them less noticeable but I would always see them and wouldn't be happy. Methinks he's right. I have an all black, not BWB, .090 on the way from WD with a bag of black screws. Accompanying it is this- Edited May 15, 2021 by 2020Jazz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I picked up a Japanese Fender Jazz in 3TS a few weeks back, it came with a Red Tort guard which I immediately swapped out for a black one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I've not voted as this depends on the colour of the bass. Some of my favourites are: Sunburst + proper 4 ply tort pg Aged white / cream + aged pearl pg Daphne blue + aged pearl pg black + mirror pg candy apple red + 3 ply black pg natural ash + 3 ply black pg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_5 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) I really like a pearloid white guard against 3TS Edited May 15, 2021 by paul_5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) Black! However....there's a seller on eBay who sells tan leather J scratchplates which would look amazing. Google and you'll find loads of examples. Edited May 15, 2021 by TheGreek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
