Another pickguard choice

If you looking on Anodized Pickguard, there are another "rose gold" colour which match with your maple fretboard wood colour nicer than gold.
I picked up a Sterling short scale Stingray like this in dropped copper. The white guard is not doing it for me at all.
I'm thinking either anodized gold, black or a nice tort.
Other suggestions welcome.
Tort. That's what I always say because that's what I almost always like.
BUT, as an alternative, there's was this other thread here today that I can't locate now where this person posted a cool greenish PG.
With the red bass and natural fretboard, the addition of a greenish pickguard would be one of my favorite tri-color palette ideas that gets me everytime I see it anywhere on anything.
So that might be an interesting idea too.
OR that blue and copper one someone else posted earlier on this thread would be cool as well as blue subs for green in my artsy-fartsy color thing I just described also.

I disagree with pretty much all of this. White grabs you attention. A black guard is what will make the red the star of the look.
Black or don't change it. Beautiful maple Ray.I picked up a Sterling short scale Stingray like this in dropped copper. The white guard is not doing it for me at all.

The white looks pretty good actually.
If you just have to change it, then I would go White Pearl
and btw, that copper finish is SWEET!

Personally, I'm not big on the Stingray pickguard in general. It reminds me of a toilet seat. And no disrespect, you can see my Stingray in my avatar. I love my Stingray bass! If I had a choice, I'd go without a pickguard. I think the Stingray looks way better without one. But it would look weird if I took mine off with the discoloration and all those screw holes, so I just leave it on. Anyhow, with your bass, I think I'd go black

Of your thoughts, anodized black.
