Miami Blue P-Bass.....Which Pickguard?

[theevilplankton]

Loving my new Miami Blue P. Super bass.

Only thing I've not been mad about is the pickguard.....I think a darker shade would definitely suit it better.

However, I'm really in doubt about what to go for. The 'net is very short of examples of this colour with different guards.....

Any ideas? Don't need a poll or anything, just some ideas, and lots of pics if possible!

Honesty, I think Fender nailed the right color for that bass. However, if you are looking to change it up. Black or perhaps an anodized gold? Here are some contrasting colors on the Miami Blue 911's for comparison. I think the wheels are bronze, but you get the idea.

Personally, I like the stock guard with that color, but black would work. Congrats on the bass! Pics?

i've drooled over the miami blue p bass too, i have the miami blue tele deluxe with black pickguard and white knobs, its super fly imo...

Black is FTW so far!

Three layer Black/White/Black would be what I would get. Maybe a black pearloid if you are feeling adventurous.

Black makes the blue pop. The stock guard doesn't do that.

a creamy red would look cool too

Matte black 3-ply. Goes so well with gloss colors of all types on Fender-style instruments.

Hard to beat blue n black. Although, blue n white ain't half bad either.

Black looks mean

White looks classy

Red tort

Tort?
Yes, Tort.
Always, Tort.
Everything else is, well... less than Tort.

A torty tort?

Great color. I'd reach out to Mike Quick/quickguards.com for something more unusual than the standard black or white or anodized gold. No affiliation, but I do have a couple of PGs from him that are fantastic, cool, and very different. Here are some colors I saw on his site that I think would all look great with that Miami Blue:
--Blue Floral Silver Metallic
--Variegated Gold Leaf
--Psychedelic Paisley
--Matte White Paisley
--White Silver Sparkle

Hmm, well to be completely off in a different direction... Love that Miami blue, and black works well. But to make it pop, I think black pearl like this would look pretty cool.

I'd leave the white pickguard on there; It just looks clean.
