What do you think?

[bholder]

I try not to think unless I'm getting paid for it. Just hurts too much.

I would go with a not so busy Tort guard like my Jazz has, the wood stands out but the tort is the icing on the cake but not over powering..

I think the White Pearloid looks great on these. But if you're looking for something a little different, I put a gold anodized on mine.

Funny... I happened to have a spare tort pg laying around and was looking at my Nitro yesterday trying to decide if I wanted to swap out the original white with it, but couldn't quite get around to it, as the white seemed (as others have mentioned) to let the wood grain shine on its own. Also, the shade of tort I had seemed to almost clash with the golden wood color. I did see a plain black pg on one that I thought looked fantastic, so I may try going that route. Aluminum one is looking good, too

Aged pearl will have some more gold ... it looks very good now .! Nice color combo . my nat/wood w/aged pearl ... the bluer flash washes out the gold hues ...

 

[hsech]

Gold Anodized looks good on anything. Even Sunset Orange.

 

[DigitalMan]

Solid color only. White or cream, gold, or matte black with no layers.

 

[aaronious]

Black

 

[RodBR]

Tortoise

I'm digging something like these for that body color.

I guess it would depend on the act Im playing with: If I was in a blues band, Id use the tort....for just about anything else, the white

 

[HarryWS]

I personally like black on natural (never had to change mine on my j-bass) but I must admit those gold ones people have posted on here look beautiful!

 

[NortyFiner]

Stick with the white or white pearl.

 

[Third Stone From the Sun]

Id say black tort or cream(w/o pearl)

 

[FrenchBassQC]

I like the white pick guard myself and I don't mean the pearl white.

 

[sprag]

I have a p with the same finish and a white pick guard. changed it to black after ten years about 4 years ago. big improvement

 

[FrenchBassQC]

Dang. The gold anodized looks GREAT.
PERFECT compliment.

Can I change my vote?

Me too...

 

[covermego]

Allright. I can't believe even ONE of you TB'ers said M I N T ! ! ! ! ! I had a Precision in Natural and mint was the nicest looking of anything I put on it. It was pretty subtle and it looks white until you put it up against stark white. Give it a try........This is why I have about 20 different pickguards......I lay em all out and try them one-by-one.
Is that cheating? Prolly.................lol.

 

[Matthew Barrack]

I like any pickguard that lets the wood be the center of attention.

Same here.

YES...

 

[GretschWretch]

Why not clear? That way all the beautiful wood would be visible.
