I have a bass with one of each of the "standard" pickguard options. Black, white, tort, mint and gold anodized. I wanna switch things up a little bit, so I'm asking to see pics of your basses with pickguards that are different from the norm. I'm thinking maybe a custom paisley guard or a Hawaiian floral print. Anyone have some cool ideas to share?

I wouldn't say mine is whacky, but perhaps unique as I've never seen another ваss with the type.
I just want to be included.

That's the way I did it, though I'm sure there are better ways...I'll just say mine looks much better at a little bit of a distance
