No clue.
Always like white pearoid, might be cool on the gold.
Black pearloid might be too, since the headstock is black?
might just leave it alone...easier and cheaper....LOL

Ah c'mon man, your shots aren't bad at all. Take the shots above:
Are they in focus?
Check.
Can I tell what color the bass is?
Check.
Is there adequate lighting to see everything clearly?
Check.

Let me add the most important one...
Does the shot make the bass look kick a$$?
Check.
I would add...use a tripod, and natural light if you can. And for God's sake...NO FEET!!!!
A Lakie looks Kick A$$ all the time, i am guessing it is hard to take a bad picture of one. ;-)
hahaha yeah man, a photo tip for ya.
Always check all 4 corners of the viewfinder BEFORE clicking the shutter button.
make sure what ya see in there belongs there and does justice to the pic.
Otherwise re adjust the angle or move the object that is bothersome if possible.
try to diffuse the flash somehow.
If it tilts try bouncing it up at the ceiling at various angles...
Sometimes flashes have a lil diffuser panel to fold down over flash, that also helps.
If not? I have used in the past a single ply tissue cut and taped over the flash to soften the flash effect.
try this if you MUST use flash.
But indirect natural light is for sure the best to light basses.
Unless ya want that slick studio light vibe. And happen to have some studio strobes and soft boxes and striplights laying around
heheheheh

Word. I don't have all that equipment do I pick the right time if day... Which is early afternoon to take shots.

+1 to the tissue trick in a pinch.
Another one I found that works well. Take an opaque white film canister, I know where does one find those these days, but any old piece of flexible opaque white plastic will do, lids, etc.
With the film canister cut a slit in it about .25" wide so that it slides over the pop-up flash and click away, instant diffused flash for indoor shots of the Laklands.
Film canister? ummmm geee whats THAT?
If memory serves me Fuji used to pack their film in those clear containers. Back in the good ole days
I would think a lil piece of wax paper might do the trick to diffuse the flash as well.
Time of day will vary with each shooter and what direction their windows are pointing.
Also time of day varies in every season.
I honestly can pretty much get natural light harnessed to do just what I could do with like a medium softbox, two striplights, 3 profoto heads and matthews stands and sand bags.
Studio light is a crutch in my mind.
Natural light is always my first choice when I have the option.

Yep! Throughout the year I follow the light around the house for the best shot...mother nature is a cruel mistress
Wow, it's been a while I haven't felt so dumb. Don't know what are any of the mentioned objects. Unless a sand bag is really a bag full of sand. Wondering what would that have to do with photography though.
yep sandbags sit on the stand bases and keep them from falling over and crashing the high dollar lights.Wow, it's been a while I haven't felt so dumb.
