mcc Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) Yet again I come here to seek advice, Even when I spent considerable time trying to convince myself that the aluminium pickguard on my Musicman SUB looked cool, I have accepted it and will be replacing it with a decent one. I have narrowed down my set of choices, but would still like to see them for real before ordering. As I know you all like showing off your basses (and with reason) I would appreciate anyone that has a blue SUB with a scratchplate different from the original to post a pic of it. Also anyone that has any dark blue bass with a pickguard on is welcome. Suggestions are also welcome. My favorite at the moment are black, white or cream perloid. Here is the bass presently with an imaginary scratchplate, but I think I prefer a visible one. [attachment=24984:MMSub5.JPG] this thread is probably dead, but for the sake of anyone else I'll upload the result very pleased !!!

I put a white one on my black P-bass...made it look 1000x better! Plus being so heavy on the pattern scratches show less for those whom like a bass to look good as well as play. Black on Blue looks...bland...They mix but they make it VERY dark. White on Blue? That's worse if it's plain. Brightens up but doesn't match IMO.

mcc Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 gold... interesting .....reminds me of Steve Harris's (Iron Maiden) P-Bass though the neck on mine is black, not maple. Also, I was thinking black perloid, white perloid or cream perloid (as opposed to plain black or white) [quote name='boabskiboab' post='484009' date='May 9 2009, 08:55 PM']Gold would look superb[/quote] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think.... I'm a bit towards white pearl... just 'cause it produces a massive contrast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
