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

[monkeyfinger]

Quick Guards Psychedelic Paisley Mettalic

Of the three, I like the paisley best.

They're quite bright!

Don't suppose anyone has a photo of Miami Blue with black, or brown tort? Guess it's a toss-up between the safe options.....

Brown tort:

black pickguard:

Awesome....really appreciated.....many thanks!

 

[monkeyfinger]

My opinion: tort looks terrible, black is meh. Black would look great with black hardware and ebony board, but not with maple/chrome.

Maybe the original mint isn't so bad after all!

 

[monkeyfinger]

Yeah, I think mint green is the best choice for more 'traditional' colors.

 

[theevilplankton]

Ordered a black. I'll put it over the mint before fitting....see how it looks. Worst case scenario, I'm about £10 down!

Simulated gold anodized. I hate the metal feel under my hand.

Sorted!

Decided to go black. To me, it's a massive improvement, and really improves the look, bringing out the blue.

All great ideas on here, thanks to everyone for excellent suggestions.

I've taken a couple of shots - although again, the Miami Blue looks very different in the flesh to how it comes out in a photo!

Parchment. Classic, sophisticated look without being as garish as white can sometimes be on blue.

No it actually got an American Pro 2 Jazz bass neck put on it at the factory by mistake and Fender acknowledges it was indeed a mistake at the factory
