Bass makeover… pickguard is disappointingly white.

[40Hz]

Can we get a pic???!!!

We aims to please.

This was taken under soft white LED lighting. Under incandescent and fluorescent light it looks a touch greener. I maybe might have preferred it be a little bluer. But mint does what it does and you take what you get.

I too am disappointingly white.

This aged white pickguard from Amazon did the trick!

I'm looking at the champagne gold metallic bass from Sire and thinking about a mint pickguard - Your bass is gorgeous, especially with those knobs. Who makes them?

Those are the knobs that come with an [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]. Also available in gold and black finishes. Unfortunately, they don't sell knobs separately. But at $99, the preamp itself is a bargain.

Mine is currently paired with a set of Wilde J-45 pickups. So their clear and detailed sound quality is combined with a very versatile 4-band preamp. There hasn't been a tone I can't dial in with this setup. Or at least so far.

It needs a red tort.

Mint or cream.. perfecto.

I just read a post on FB where a guy wanted to dye a shift knob from white to slightly amber / vintage white.
It was extremely hard plastic and coffee, tea, etc. wouldn't change the color at all.
He used turmeric (spice) and it looked aged. Worth a try
