Got myself a new MIA Blizzard Pearl P Bass. Love it.......well, except for the white pick guard.
What are your thoughts on the color for a new pick guard? Tort is *the* choice for Oly White  . What about Tort for Blizzard White? Other color?
Post pictures if you've got 'em! |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: Memphis, TN | | I picked up a Blizzard Pearl Jazz a year or two ago and had the same dilemma as you. I got a Tort guard for it, but after awhile, I put the white one back on. I actually think the white looks better with the BP. Normally, I don't like white p/g's, but they look good on the BP's. I also like white on the Vintage White's (which is a yellowed color. Here is the BP with the tort and the white.  
I also think a white pearloid would look good.

I typically go traditional . . . but this is cool! |

Just a personal preference. Nothing against you tort fans out there, but I've never really liked the look. I'd go for black or black pearl if it was my bass; the white pickguard looks pretty neat on the Blizzard Pearl body, though. |
