[TrustRod]

Sherwood green with mint white and matching headstock

or

Black with 3 ply black

Rosewood for both

 

[Killed_by_Death]

natural - sans pickguard

It would be even better if there were no controls plate & the controls were installed from the back side.

 

[el_Bajo_Verde]

Natural with no pickguard

Another vote for natural ash w/black PG (IF it has a maple board). If not, then natural ash, BROWN tort PG and rosewood board.

For THAT, you pretty much need to go with the G&L JB-2.....

I like showing the wood grain. Clear as or sunburst alder with tort.

This

Sunburst with a white pickguard (and a maple fret board). I'm boring.

 

[bass4more]

Fiesta red, red tort, rosewood.

Mine? Burst, tort. Say no more.

Oh, avatar is an SX 6er, not my real Fender. Not a real Jazz bass. So ignore it.
