Which Color Pickguards Go Well With Red Body Bass? Share Pictures?

My girlfriend plays a Fiesta Red Classic 60s Fender Jazz with a tortoise pickguard. It looks amazing, imho... The pickguard has black and brown spots that perfectly balance the aesthetics of the solid red body.

 

I have some ideas!

Anodized gold looks decent on a red bass, imho. Seen and played a vintera 50 and it wasn't bad looking. Like this.


Tort.


Some kind of sparkle/galaxy, bonus points for extra blue tint and bling

 

Mint.

 

And my trusty P with anodized pg - it was how this bass started:

 

Available at WDMusic. Red Pearloid. I bought one for a red Jazz-style bass. It looked great.

 

BLACK

 

I've always wondered why Fender rarely if ever repeated that look from Strats and other guitars of the white pickups shells on a white pickguard on basses. If I had a red one (just let me find the right Candy Apple Red one !), I'd think about doing as I did with my Lake Placid Blue James Johnston Squier:


I just always like this look, especially on the 'DuPont' car colors like CAR, LPB, etc.

 

Depends on which red.

 

Word…

 

Fiesta Red

 

White pearl on trans red.

 

Cherry Red body, with a Black PG. Everything else is uncivilized.

 

I like the look of anodized pickguards but I hate how they feel on my fingers

As many pics in this thread have demonstrated, the correct answer is black.

Black goes with everything.
