Cosmetic jazz bass mods

Just bought a truss cover for my Gretsch guitar from them. Very nice work and quality.

@steve_kyle - I completely agree, Mike at Quick Guards does fantastic work! His quality is second to none, and the designs he's created and materials he uses have a depth and richness to them that I have not seen anywhere else.

I had him make me a back-painted gold Rickenbacker 4003 set a few years ago, as well a Fender Jazz Bass pickguard in this Ocean Turquoise Gold Sparkle color:

His Tobacco Leaf design is absolutely stunning IMO. Can you imagine how killer this would look on a Jazz Bass or P-Bass?

I second the anodized gold PG! It's a LOT classier than anything tort (which should have stayed in the 1960s along with those pastel colored kitchens and ugly dark green carpets that belong in your great grandma's house).

Hey everyone! Ive been thinking about switching up a few things on my 2011 USA jazz bass. Ive had it for 5 years now and absolutely love it, but Im kinda sick of the tortise shell pickguard(its got some nasty damage from like a chemical or something) and felt like spicing it up a little bit. (I did the same with my usa p bass). What ideas do you guys have? New knobs? Pickup covers? New pickguard?

Dont need new pick ups because these are SWEET. I believe they are custom shop 60s pickups. Neck is perfect as well!

Please save the "its perfect how it is" comments lol. Like I stated im kinda sick of tortoise shell and would like to change it up. Ive been leaning pearloid for a while. Again thanks everyone!

send me the neck and start over .. hee

seriously, my first thought was mint, then I saw the paisley earlier and really looked good on that color.

Im so sick of tortoise shell tho

This just means you haven't found the right tort. I like blonde tort, some people like red or brown fleck.

Bernie Kosar likes tort a lot.

Idk ive had pretty good luck . WD offers pretty much anything you would ever need plus some. I do like how they offer free samples

Maybe I'll try them sometime!

I actually love those pastels!
