Poll: pickguard color for Seafoam Green?

[bongomania]

I am having a bass refinished in seafoam green, and having a hard time deciding between the many pickguard colors that could look very cool on it. Note that I have ruled out white, black, and tort. Just not interested in those for this bass. And yeah, I know, I should pick what looks best to me, but there are just so many that look good, and I can't afford to buy a bunch and try them all.

If there's a color you want to suggest which is not shown, and which is not white, black, or tort, please post a pic of it!

Thanx!

I saw a clear pickguard on a Sadowsky that looked pretty cool. I picked the white pearl out of your choices.

out of those choices - Mint

+1 Here's surf green with what I believe is a mint guard (or at least some sort of 'off white). That should be close to the look for Seafoam IMO. I think the mint looks particularly good with a RW board... I like the contrast of the dark board and light guard.

Mint

the pearl. It looks classic!

woodgrain

Black Paisley for sure, that is sweet looking.






Or my usual answer, MIRROR!

Abalone, or the white one with the consistency of tort. Im blanking out on what its called.

IMO, white pearl would look better than creme pearl.

Pearloid?

Cream pearl is my choice.

What wood is the fretboard?

 

[bongomania]

It's a dark rosewood board. Thanks for the input so far guys!

Question: Do you play with a pick? Since you're having it refinished, you could fill the existing screw holes and go pickguard-less. I think that would look best. It doesn't make much sense to me to spend the money to refinish the bass, then cover up half of it with cheap plastic.

Other than that...this one would have the ladies tossing their underwear at you:

Ha! I can dig it. The reason I need to cover the top with a big slab of plastic is because the control cavity and wiring channels were routed from the front.

I hate any shade of green!!!! Sorry.

What kind of bass?

And, I'm sure you know, but WD Music Products has pretty much every different kind of pickguard for any bass in any finish available.

I voted cream pearl, but a mint pearl would be awesome too.
