Machines Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 White perloid for me - anything else wouldn't go with that lovely bright red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickThomas Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 (edited) I vote pearloid white too. Just did a "build a bass" thing on the ernie ball website, and those colours go well together Edited May 17, 2007 by NickThomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFKT Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 black all the way, black on red is fresh underwear country JP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-T-P Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Personally I quite like the white, definitely would like mint green like on my old JO5. Gold with CAR is another classic combo and a brown tortoiseshell looks great too and very distinctive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krazy_olie Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Normally I like black on red, but in this case I really think chrome would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crikey! Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 i reckon white pearloid...or black, but that might turn out looking cheap.. =S gold on red just looks cheesy in my opinion, like the fender deluxe thingy mijigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obbm Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 Thanks for all your suggestions. Firstly I'm not a pearly person. The Lakland Jerry Scheff I owned for a while had a pearl guard on CAR and it looked rather old fashioned. You might want to debate that but I don't. I'm old but I'm not old fashioned. I know gold anodised is very traditional for a CAR body but gold doesn't really go with chrome hardware does it. Ideally a chrome guard would be great but where can you get one of those? I'm currently thinking either gloss black or silver which would go well with the hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadget Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I'd go with the white perloid! I used to have a metallic Purple Stingray and the white Perloid plate really made it look like an expensive bass! Think it adds a hint of quality and depth! Cheers Big G! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
