    Hi everyone, i was just wondering what visual upgrades i could do to my bass. Any opinions on pickgaurd colors? Thanks

    Heres what it looks like:
    White n white fender p bass imitation, rosewood fretboard. jumbo tuners.

    I couldn't get a good pic of it. Try searching Huntington white p bass, it should come up.

    Also pics are appreciated, thanks

    Stick a black pickguard on it and you've got an instant 70s punk bass.

    Perhaps if you were to state what opinions you wish to solicit, we could more accurately echo them.

    Blue Pearl picpickguard with Aurora blue strings.
    Red pearl with DR Red Devils or similar.
    Maybe color capped control knobs.
    Gold pickguard might look good with gold strings.
    Used to hate gold...changed my mind.

    This place makes some unusual pickguards.

    Wish they had a few different red ones, though.

    White block inlays
    White strings or Red Devils
    Gold hardware - bridge/knobs/tuning machines
    Gold anodized pick guard

    Something I have been working on, switching from chrome to gold really made it Pop out!

    That looks real cool


    Thanks for the suggestions, i never knew about the knobs.


    maybe light blue would look nice, or gold w/ gold inlays

    Killer bass!
    I really like how the paint almost looks like red satin and leaving the sides and back black makes it even better.
