Black Jazz Bass Pickguard Options

[Crispus]

I've always been a fan of black on black, but Black Pearl might work.

This is what I came to say!

Celluloid is gorgeous, but inherently unstable. As is common on many old celluloid guards, it shrinks over time and blows out at the screw holes. Plus, it’s violently flammable. Some states charge hazardous materials fees to allow it to be shipped.

Don’t hate this look either.

Just change it according to holidays. Orange for Halloween, pink for Valentines, green for st. Patty’s…

Lots of pearl options on Amazon that are outside the box. Blue, Purple, Orange, Gold, Silver, etc.

I went gold pearl for my new J bass. At $15 a pop you could buy a few different pickguards and see what you like, or switch them out when you get tired of the same look.

That looks amazing!

Ordered this one…

Will see how it looks, compared to the tort guard that came on it.

I'd recommend celluloid Tort; Spitfire, Lavaguard or Avantguard - but will cost almost as much as a Squier.

These are the the best I've seen for the price and is a definite upgrade to "modern" Tort.

yeah...Spitfires aren't cheap, but totally worth the money (I've got one on my Funkmachine replica)...that said, Greasy Groove makes some cool options

That bottom one looks pretty cool

Here’s a colorful one I’m using in my next build. It would look pretty awesome on a black body. It came from WD.

That's the kind of out-of-the-box thinking I like!

That would look great as the body (rear route) and neck, put the fret/fingerboard on after the finish.

Okay, here’s the new guard.

Just had it on top of the old one.

I like how it turned out!
