Pickguard or no?

[Marcury]

No Pickguard.

 

[Andy Brown]

I'd go with a clear pickguard myself.

If you cannot control your pick, you might seriously consider one of the Wedgie rubber picks. Those won't scratch that beautiful finish if your strumming gets out of hand. Alternatively, just don't strum so hard.

Leave that body alone

Leave that body alone!

[crkempton]

use a clear pickguard.

 

[duckbutter]

No way, no pickguard!!

 

[FenderHotRod]

That body is to sexy for a pickguard..

 

[Pennydreadful]

I like the white guard, myself. Who's the other brave soul who dared to vote for the white guard?

Me.

You put a pg on that body and I'll personally beat your a$$!

as much as i like pearl pickguards..

this is a fantastic body and doesnt need one

God that is super sexy! How can you think about covering that up?

Under no circumstances would I cover that maple with a pickguard. And I've never thought of truss notches as ugly- they're just part of the body.

If you're concerned about the nitro (Warmoth does nitro? Or did you have someone else do it/do it yourself?), use a clear partial pickguard like you see on Celinders and some Sadowskys. Oh, and black pickguard screws will be less noticeable.

leave it as is. the pickguard destroys the reason why you would buy such a nice looking bass.

No, hell no, not on that body.

No. Don´t do it. The body is good as it is.

putting on a pickguard would make holes in that body! no!

but if you must, a clear pickguard.

btw, that body is BEAUTIFUL. good purchase.

+1, I agree with everyone else, leave it.

Leave that body alone, don't put a pickguard on it! IMO it looks great as it is right now.
ps. first post, hi everyone

No Pickguard.

No way, no pickguard!!

+1 to all of the above, don't ruin that body, it's just too nice to drill holes into & to cover up

 

[EagleMoon]

Leave it like it is. It's gorgeous!

 

[Ian Perge]

Even as an Atheist, I can see a Mortal Sin as clear as the next person. That is not a top to be covered up with a pickguard, even a clear one - simply drilling the top for mounting screws would be enough for purgatory...

 

[Rocinante_x1]

No Pickguard. Why cover that beautiful top?

+1 to these as well

 

[falstro]

That's an amazing finish; you CAN'T cover it up with a pick guard!
Why would you even consider it?

 

[RedemptionBass]

Here is where I get yelled at.....


I think you should paint it Seafoam green.


But since you won't be doing that, I say leave it alone and go guardless. I mean, it certainly is fancy. Why ruin all the fancyosity if you were going for fancyosity in the first place?

HA! /Chris Matthews

...Munji's "Pepto Pink" Sadowsky would also make a good template.

 

[J_Bass]

It´s your bass, do whatever you want.
Just don´t put a pickguard on that sexy body.
