So it's trivial and it should be what I want..

[xzodar]

I voted Black Pearl

[dave_bass5]

I voted Black because i love the look of black body, black PG and blocks.

This was my old DJ5


Saying that, i do like White as well.

Or what he said.

Black is good on a P, but on a J it doesn't quite do it for me because of the chrome (or whatever it is) bit the knobs are on. (I apologise for the English, it ain't good is it!)

[bartelby]

Black Pearl looks fantastic...


Or chrome. All the best basses have chrome...

I had a black Lakland DJ for a while with a red tort guard & I really liked the look.

Something like this:

wow, that is very sweet indeed

[quote name='Doddy' post='837855' date='May 15 2010, 02:56 AM']I really like the white. The Black with white pickguard really works with the rosewood/block inlay
'board. It's a good look.[/quote]

That is beautiful, I think I may settle on the Black Pearl.

Thanks to those who contributed

Definately.Maybe not on a Jazz,but on a Precision it's a good look.My Precision had one on it when I bought it,honest..And a metal scratchplate makes a subtle difference to the sound too.

[HMX]

I agree with mirrors looking more suited to a P-bass rather than a Jazz.

[Dandelion]

I also have a black Jazz with a white pickguard...

I can`t help thinking that it looks like a killer whale..



I want to exchange it for a black one.

Let's both take the plunge.

Pun intended

[Mog]

Voted other. Are those inlays MOP or abalone. Match the guard to the inlays. Simples!

Pearl but I'm not overly keen on the black and white, killer whale like combination.

[51m0n]

"Black on black and black to be exact...."

Never thought I'd find myself quoting The Fat Boys on Basschat

[Prime_BASS]

Voted other.

Black and White look to plain, brown tort is best on oly White. The best suited would be red tort.

Although I had a spark of genius when I remembered the pick guard on a customised OLP guitar. It was 4 layer ply, B W B the top layer was a dark grey/silver pearloid. I'm sure White pearloid would match it well, especially with the block inlays.

Second thoughts I'm now looking for the grey pearloid gor my jag

[discreet]

+1 for white pearl. Tort won't go with those block inlays.

EDIT: IMHO.

Failing that, black. Or white pearl.

Ah, that is very nice Bay. How is it with finger marks and dust and everything though? Or does that sound silly...

ok with dust and prints but if you slap and pop at all, best keep your nails as short as possible, to avoid [i][b]slap rash [/b][/i]under the D and G strings

[WarPig]

black pearl.
