after ordering new pickups I thought I should improve the bass further so I got some strap locks and thought I should change the pickguard but I'm not good at making decisions so I'll ask you

what would look good with my bass?

I think it looks fine the way it is, but, if I were to suggest a new pickguard, I'd be leaning toward cream. You don't see many and it would go great with red.

Is that transparent red? I would definitely go with a black pickguard on that. Are you going to be upgrading the electronics along with the pickup?

I'm not a big fan of cream and I have noticed that a lot of pick gaurds dont go with red i would like something like this
