Both PG's look great! What matters most is what you like! Congrats on a great bass. One day, when I find the right Sadowsky (MV5 most likely), she will be mine. Oh yes, ... she will be mine.
Just got my new, white pickguard from Roger and the boys the Sadwosky shop today. Thanks guys, it fits just fine, despite the warnings on the website

It's actually damn near impossible to see the difference between the old and the new one in these pics (although in reality there is a big difference). Basically it had a "mint" guard on when I got it, whereas all of my other non-black pickguard basses have white (or creamy white) guards on. This made the MV4 stand out a bit, but not in a good way, IMO
. So, I changed it for a white one.
Here's the old "mint" p/g:

And here's the new white p/g:

I now expect to see a flood of posts from people who preferred the mint one. Never mind, at least this trivial little post has brought this fine thread back to the first page of the BASS GUITARS forum - where it belongs
