I like the look. I'm not a huge fan of pink instruments, but I really like that bass, with the black pickup covers.
Nice bass!
Nice bass!
Yeah, that guitar looks great, but I also think the gold hardware works better with the cream/aged pearloid combo as well.
Thank you, as well as everyone else that commented. Knowing people like my stuff keeps me motivated
I think sticking with the pearloid guard black pup covers are probably best IMO. of course.
If it where me though I'd put a tort guard on it with chrome knobs and cream pup covers.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit
I realize that some people love tort on everything, I can only tolerate it on white, or natural. Besides, the pearloid pick guard is almost a dead match for the pearl block inlays of the neck.

I've run up to this same issue. Only solution would be pg matching pearl covers. No clue as to how to go about this, but accordions and some guitars over time were moulded w/MOTO.
just thinking out loud.
It's probably not worth the effort, but I guess I could buy another pick guard, and veneer the pearloid to the top of the black covers. It, would solve a problem with the Fender 62 pickup as well. The pole pieces stick out a good bit past the covers, and the E string hits them unless they are adjusted way down into the body.

After thinking about it, I just might try it. I think it could look cool, if the edge of the pearloid was beveled just like the pickguard and you could see the Pearloid/black/white layers.
I guess I just thought I was done with this bass
...a modifiers work is never done!
Even if you did the top conforming to the pu (no bevel), the stratus of the plies will still be noticeable. Either way it could offer up a slick custom detail.

I'm gonna have to order another pickguard, to cut up. I doubt I could find some PG material that is a direct color match.

Is it white pearl? I have scrap pieces, probably enough for a P pu. Yours for the asking.
Its "Aged Pearl" from www.guitarpartsonline.com, Its slightly darker than regular pearloid, so ordering another guard is probably my best bet.
But thanks alot for the offer.
