Pickguard for sunburst p bass

[Lon86]

Hey all,

Just picked up a Highway 1 P for a great price, $460.

I want to change out the white pickguard for something cooler...anyone have recommendations and/or pics fpr options...?

Thanks in advance!

Black. only black.

 

[Lon86]

I was thinking tort also, like my '62...but black might be cool.

Anyone have pics?

I have white pearloid on my '95 gold p and '73 burnt orange p.

If you want something really cool, go for the mint green !!!

Black or tort.

Tort. There is no substitute.

Can't imagine black on a 3TS. Tort would look really classic 60's, especially if you put covers on the bridge and pickup (might have to take off the BAII though). Anodized gold would look nice, but would be "period incorrect" with the rosewood fretboard. It would be cool too if you could pick up a thumbrest. My vote is tort!! And for years I hated tort. Now I like it.

Now why can't I find deals like that? Honestly, Highway Ones must be the greatest deal in the Fender bass world since I don't know when, and in my local store I've seen one H1 Strat, and that's it!

The three tone sunburst on it looked awesome - almost made me wish I played guitar, but not before it made me wish they'd bring a P bass in with the same finish.

I just did this exact thing yesterday, Took the Badass II off my P-bass and installed a standard Fender bridge and bridge cover. Now I've got a sunburst P-bass with a tort guard and both covers. It's the classic look, and the Fender bridge sounds just fine with plenty of sustain.

Pictures please! Both you and the OP!

Here's mine. Sorry for the poor quality photo. It's got a '62 RI Jazz neck with the finish rubbed off the back, and a Reverend pickup. Plays and sounds killer!

black or black pearloid is the only way to go for sunbursts.

mmmm Tort

I always thought Tort on a 3TS, but Billis that looks pretty sweet!

Maybe I am just used to Black on a Natural finish..

Silly question. Tort!


Black works well, too. But tort ... mmmmmmmmm

Black on maple neck. Tort on rosewood.
