Burberry plaid!

Not a black bass, but you get the idea.

Notwithstanding the fact that the OP probably made his decision long ago...

Mirror - what I have on my black Squier P Special. If I was replacing it I may go tort, to match my black/tort guitar.

What are you using there for a strap lock?

 

[peledog]

Clear

 

[joelb79]

Parchment. I dunno why..

That will be the same sort of strap lock I'm using on my guitar - the rubber washer from a Grolsch beer bottle.

Does the job perfectly, and gives you an excuse to buy two beers whenever you get a new bass or guitar.

 

[SJLee]

Thanks! Time to get a six of Grolsch.

 

[schmig]

Yup..Grolsch..I made mistake of buying some Schallers for a Jazz a couple of years back and they've been nothing but creaky, annoying trouble.

Rambling: I do the very occasional day at a guitar shop (have a 9-5 as an engineer) to unwind and do something different. One sales tactic which may have worked for me was to tell fathers: "If you buy this for your kid, you'll need straplocks for sure..your best bet is to pick up a few bottles of Grolsch on your way home".

 

[SJLee]

Nice!

Here's a gold on black as mine was originally, and the black/red/black on black as it is now.

Did you get that gold one from the Pickguardian? I just ordered a gold one from him for my maple P. I think it will look pretty cool. I thought about a black one, but decided you see that too often. I wanted something different, but not tort or pearl.

Ima get one with a half nekked lady on it for mine.

Pickguardian will lay a signature on the clear with painted back.

Hopefully he will expand his service to apply artwork under that Plexiglas.

I know this is a jazz, but black on black always looks classy. The white line around the pick guard really stands out:

Blk/rw/tort!

THAT IS SO COOL.

On black body, pickguard should be white or mint.
