I have a Squier by Fender red Affinity Series Jazz such as the one pictured here. I'm getting a little tired of the white pickguard. Can anyone recommend another color pickguard. I know I can do black. Would any other color look good besides black.

If not white (which I like, as well as white pearl) or black, how about black pearl or a mirrored?
I also saw some interesting ideas on Jeannie's Pickguards - red-white-red, red mirror, brushed gold, and brushed silver. She also has a rust/black veined, but the rust might look too orange-y against your red bass.

I have a black one too that I put on my natural/maple finish jazz, originally that one had a tort shell. I like to switch em around some, to "feel" like I got a new bass, when I can't afford a new one..
