I’d say either mint or parchment.

Pickguards are evil.

But if you have to have one, the only possible choice is black.

I'm really liking the idea of a mint guard on this body.

Full disclosure: I'm kinduva mint fanboy.

You know, I just realized I have a mint guard in my basement somewhere. Forgot to add that to the poll. Typically I like mint on something like a Lake Placid blue, but maybe it’d look good here too…

Yeah I realize this is totally up to me. But I am bored, and this conversation is fun (at least for me).

oiled maple if aviable

I’d go on a configurator website and see which combo catches your eye with that color — like Warmoth or Sandberg.

 

[Stranger Danger]

NO, please do not cover that beautiful wood with plastic!

So just a huge open hole with all the electronics spilling out?

You consider that a huge hole?

If you were going to have black hardware, then I'd say go with black three-ply. But since you're going with chrome, with that color scheme, I'd go with tort. (I don't really like tort, and I don't much care for that color scheme, but they would compliment each other well.) The other alternative is go for something completely different from an Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removedon Etsy or something.

 

[majbass]

The answer is always tort

 

[francy bernal]

i see mybie that but for the other pickup

I like parchment if it’s a maple board, or tort if it’s a dark board.

 

[Thegreatzambini]

Yep, my vote goes for white pearloid as well….

 

[Thegreatzambini]

NO, please do not cover that beautiful wood with plastic!

If I can avoid plastic on wood, I do as well …problem is it’s got that P bass route that goes to the control cavity which you gotta cover up

 

[bmusic]

Black if rosewood fingerboard; gold if maple

 

[TimBosby]

Do black abalone (not to be confused with black pearl, which is different.)

All good colors - I have basses with each... but which for that bass?
Black says "70s" to me, but it really pops @BassComa
I like "good" Tort, but might be a bit much here...
The Anodized looks better than I would have imagined.

Here's my honey-burst w/Cream
