What pickguard should I get for my Red/Rosewood neck J Bass?

At the moment it has a 3ply white pickguard on it, and it just isn't doing it for me. What pickguard should I get for it? Pics would be highly appreciated.

EDIT: This bass is Candy Apple Red, not midnight wine

Nothing looks sexier to me on a Candy apple red than a mint green guard, (which is sort of off white) or a vintage red tortise shell

Red Tort

Red Tort looks amazing on my son's bass.

I love tort, but I don't like it on red.

So I'd go for black.

It ain't no J-Bass, but Candy Apple Red and a black pickguard look pretty decent on a P-Bass...

EDIT: Anyone who is still looking at this thread now, I never actually had this bass. It was on ebay and I though is was going to win it. So whenever I say I've never owned a J bass in a thread, don't bother pasting this to that thread. It's just wasting my time, and you're time.

Oh and mods, feel free to delete this thread. It has no use to me anymore
