Green body, what color pickguard?

[Doctor J]

Maple. Maple pickguard. Put the rosewood fretboarded neck on and the maple pickguard will work with the headstock.

Do it.

 

[Pilgrim]

White or black pearloid.

 

[ExaltBass]

Antique White (creamy) Pearloid

 

[ivbenaplayin]

It's not one of the choices above, but I think abalone would look nice...

 

[TC424]

White or black pearloid.

+1

 

[darkstorm]

If you must add pickgaurd, then black.

 

[BassOfSpades]

I would say black or mirror.

 

[kenfxj]

If the grain is nice and the routing is clean I'd consider clear.

Otherwise black. Maybe even matte black.

 

[SirMjac28]

I picked black makes it look no nonsense

 

[sj_bass]

If your maple neck has pearl BnB, then definitely go with a white pearl guard. If however the maple neck has black dots, then the gold anodized or black pearl would work nicely.

Naturally, I chose carrots.

 

[EvilVOG]

Monochromatic or complimentary, but i would avoid a contrasting color. i picked mint but if it's a light green body i'd say gold

 

[gitlvr]

I picked mint out of the choices given, but I would have picked parchment instead, if it had been an option.

 

[String Theory]

I would get white perloid. Of the choices given I picked black.

 

[Korladis]

Mint.

I like the maple idea, too.

 

[Jeff K]

I'd go with Mint.

 

[bunkaroo]

Here's my refinished Lakland in a darker translucent green with a black pickguard:

 

[Mr.Chucklebunny]

I will take the route of the carrot and say gold pearl.

Otherwise, go withe green pearl.

 

[hrodbert696]

I would have said white pearloid, but of the ones you list, I say gold and put gold hardware on it.

 

[rogerb]

oops, I said mint, just leave the one that is currently on it!

 

[kraigo]

Don't be ridiculous, irridescent white pearl is the only color for a green body, with Carrots as a second choice. So I guess gold.

+1. I'm getting a green bass soon and I wouldn't think of anything else for it.
