Looks fantastic!

I actually have the gold guard laying on top of the old guard. I haven’t installed it yet. I ordered a set of Fender 63 Pure Vintage pickups. Once they come in I will swap the guard and pickups at the same time.

Well then....mod away...I like the anodized guard. The 63 vintage are nice pickups, they go well with rounds and flats, so they're quite versatile.

Well... I wouldn't put it on my '78, 3TB P-Bass (Cream/Black/Cream for me), but... if it had come to me with that pickguard on it? I might leave it on the bass. I replaced the original Black 'guard, partly because it was cracked, and partly because it just looked... gloomy. And, the lacquer refinish on mine - which closely duplicates the original finish - is a little lighter in the center, and has a slightly bigger red zone, than yours. Which might not have worked quite as well with that pickguard, as your bass does... So, yeah; on that bass? Good choice...

I may be thinking of letting this Pbass go. Talk me out of it lol. Your thoughts?

It’s not a bad bass at all. I actually love it but the 5th string is calling me.

Yup

Should I sell it? I’m gassing for a five string.

Ok, I have decided to let the Fender go.
I will be posting it soon. Let me know if you’re interested.

Anodized grabs your attention away from the wood - it says "look at me" when the light hits it. The better looking the wood grain is, the more strongly I believe you should have a black guard on there. A black guard makes the wood the star.
