Sign in to disble this ad
I'm ordering a custom PG today. This one is grayish white pearl, and not very attractive. I don't want white or black pearl. I’m stuck between:
1) Acrylic White because most black basses have white/parch or mint.
2) Green or Purple I like the green; wife likes purple.
3) 3 ply Tort because tort looks good on anything (brown, not red)
I could really use your help deciding because w/o seeing it first, I’m stuck.
All pics and comments welcome!!!

Or tort for a classic look (that's what I chose for my black MIM J - ripped from my Squier, but I think I'll move to abalone). Purple is very nice, of course if you don't live in a catholic country, where purple is FORBIDDEN to musicians and aother artists.
Don't be afraid of weird looks: my white Squier J, after many moddings, now has a pearl ocean blue pg, and it looks pretty cool and unique.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: dallas, tx | | | A lot of good ideas so far:
- JakeAndAirwaves, love that Jag, my next bass will be a SS jaguar.
- danomite64, really nice J, I saw that PG material on the web somewhere.
- Hopkins, current one doesn't look good in person; it's not white although the pic looks like it.
- EagleMoon the blk abalone was $336 a sheet; I wonder how much a PG is?
- deste, I agree that tort is the bomb. Not different, but classy. Whish I could see your squier.
- socknroll1, not a fan of black or white pearl, but out of the two, I’d do white on black.
- ebonalley, PG looks really good with gold h/w; beautiful bass.

There's a blue pearloid pickguard on my VM Jaguar. Also did a violet pearloid, wasn't as big a fan.

I still keep it around. Threw it against my Thunderbird for contrast. I get all my pickguard supplies from Warmoth, and cut them myself. Benefit of having a Skill saw and a Dremel in the family. Their violet was a little too pink for my taste.
