Olympic White bass, what pickguard?

[Obstacle 1]

UPDATE:

I am in the process of turning my P-Bass into this:

I lost an e-bay auction for a fender 62ri tort guard so now I have to wait 3 days for the next one to finish

I am also considering the gold look (leaning towards tort though):

it would look pretty much exactly the same as that picture minus the wear and the vintage logo/tuners

Pinstriping the strings provide a verticalish balance to the entire mono-blanco scenario.
Hey! Why does mine have the white, instead of the chrome knobz?

tort and re-tort.
+infinity and beyond

Black. I love white basses with black pickguards.

Or all white basses. Ever since I saw Nathan East's white Yamaha and Fodera at a Herbie concert, I've wanted a white bass. It'd contrast my black one real good

I don't like Tort much, kinda reminds of that rubbery flooring stuff they use for kid's playgrounds

Red Tort is marvelous!

Just seen a gold metalflake sparkle finish on Stuart Hamm's bass - you'll have to start again with a metalflacke finish and a brass scratchplate!

Tort for the ... Okay, I couldn't make up a rhyme. But tort on white looks amazing.

When tortillas are left to cook on the cast iron thingie long enough random areas overcook to a semi-burnt, crispy texture with the appearance of a brownish to black/off white combo much like that of a tort...

tort, tort, and only tort.

there is no other option.

+a large number.

EDIT: Or gold, I'd forgotten about that. It'd look amazing.

 

[manicbassman]

leave it as it is... white on white (with the thin black edge) looks fine...

Tort with a rosewood board, black with a maple board.

Gold anodised looks great anyone got a pic?

Wow Krispy - that looks just like the pickguard on my 50 aniversary Tele. (Sorry guys I play guitar as well! Thought it was time to come out.)

I'm definately going to make a brass pickguard for my Jazz though. I'll have to start with a sheet of 16 guage brass and use the old pg as a template. I've used a black one but it shows all the scratches and doesn't look as good as tort or anything else except white. Didn't like the standard white at all.

I've got pearl white and tort, both look good IMHO.

On a white Jazz Bass, I would go with either white or white pearloid pickguard. Gold strings, keys and electronics with Bartolini pickups!

Go out and club yourself a tortoise right now and stick that shell on your bass.
