Black clash with brown? I'm not talking about wearing a black belt and brown shoes here! That's a winner...here's your trophy.
I was just talking about how the word "classy" really isn't classy at all

Can't see the forest through the trees...
:scowl:
Not even going to touch that typo...
You're telling me that the chrome hardware and a black pickguard wouldn't rock in with this color? Pleaze!
I had a van in this color & it is much along the lines of LPB or CAR in that it's not all that impressive in photos cuz it's SO hard to capture it's total awesomeness!
In person, totally killer!
That said, I'll put my vote in for the black guard, tort...
Here's my go at it. I think I got the color close.
I'm sure Markus could blow this out the water, but I thought I'd give it a try.
Microsoft Picture It FTW.

I gotta say, I like the black (anyone surprised??)

Yeah...I think I would go black.

Color is very good! Flakes are a little bigish.
Hmmm.....
Lovely color

Modded 55-01 with a pickguard covering up the mess

Wilkins guitar refinishing on my way to work

Hmmmmm.......

I wanna see a mockup of "the brown in [Markus'] head" bass w/ a Chi or Darkstar, cause we all know it won't have a split P and therefore NO bull deflector. And, I think that if he goes w/ the matching headstock and black PG, that the fretboard will need a little maple to brighten the total package up a bit: ebony w/ BEM blocks like Evan's beauty, perhaps?? And, of course a BEM board w/ dots or ebony blocks MAY work as well...

I guess it would help if I actually get the bass back from the shop and see it before I decided what to do with it. Love the metallic brown, but don't know if I'm sparkles guy.
Maybe a Van Halen pattern?
It might be a maple and blocked fretboard...that's what I said in the original post. Here's Stu's with a rw board:

I would go small sparkles....smaller that Stu's. Like Lakland's metallic, but flakes about 50% bigger.
