Fellow board member here has a black pearl pickguard on his. Looks great. Blue pearl and red tortoiseshell look good, too.
Hey, I've missed out on basses before but this wasn't like missing a regular Squire JJ Jazz bass or even a particular Jazz bass that caught my eye because it had a matching headstock...I'm a sucker for matching headstocks. This bass didn't sell on ebay...of course, it might've been listed on craigslist...or maybe the seller simply decided to keep it, but I do check to see if it gets relisted, that's for sure.
