Got to be BLACK! You'll have the Sid Vicious bass! And who is cooler than a heroin addict who couldn't play bass and who may or may not have killed his girlfriend?!

Olympic White bass, what pickguard?
- Thread starter Obstacle 1
- Start date
when people are referring to white on white do you mean pearl white or the white it already has?
was it white pearloid like the photo on page 1 of the stingray? I think the white pearloid does look pretty cool
I can't speak for the other posters, but I mean the white it already has. I think it looks great.
I vote black. I refinished my MIA P-bass in '04 to white and slapped on a black pickguard. I couldn't of been happier with it.
Looking at this:

I like the tort and black look, but pearl white has its own unique look as well.
time to mull it over.
Tort has decimated in the poll though

You can get new covers from a few places if you have interest. Many years ago I bought probably 10 combos of the P & Jazz knowing that as my collecting went on, I would have these to add or replace. In fact I have a black MIM P that I put a black plearloid pickguard and the covers on. Stunning
I'd go brown tort. If the board was maple, I'd say black. But with the rosewood board, I'd get the brown tort. It'll blend better with the rosewood.
Tort looks best IMO but black and white look good too. Someone mentioned black for maple neck and white for rosewood. Think they're on to something there.
Not sure about the gold and not a fan of pearloids. To each their own though.

Red Tort or Brown Tort was my first thought. But.....
A bright mid Red would look good as well - second thought. Kinda punk.
Dark Red or Maroon would look very Art Deco - like the late 20's upholsery, or speed boat seats from that time.
Darkish brown would look very retro - like bakalite (old 40's style radios). Think French train posters of the 30's.
Dark Green would be the first time I'd seen that combination....so...the house I was born in had those colours (1946!)

Brass looks good - ala Stu Hamm's Fender prototype bass - although his body is in sparkle red (the bass that is not...)
