Whitish or creamish pearl or pearloid tops it for me. The only white PG I tolerated for any significant period of time was on my 4003.

Not a fan of the Tort on this color. White, cream or black pearl works and of course solid black goes with anything. Someone mentioned Gold and I suspect that would look good, but I'd want to see a pic first.

Theres Mirrored too if you don't have the ashtrays on.

White/black pearloid guards don't always look bad, but IMO they never look quite "right" on a Fender bass.

Agreed.

Tort looks great, but a mint guard looks pretty darn nice on seafoam.

If there's no exposed routing, then no pickguard.

tort looks nice but aged white, then white pearloid seems to compliment those paste colors the best. I also like anodized gold. Aged Pearl. Stay in the lighter colors.

That's YOUR opinion RIGHT?

I think the pearl whites look nice too. Isn't it great we have so many options?

I love tort PG's on almost everything except Seafoam. I like mint, especially on red, black, and SF. I'm not a fan of pearliod on most basses, but have seen some exceptions. Seaform with parch, mint or white is the perfect combination for me.

White, black or white pearloid all look great on sea-foam green!
