Which colour pickguard for a wine red Jazz?

[2112]

Anything but tort. Do not give in to the tort mob.

I like the parchment idea...but the red pearl PG on the Tele looks kinda good to me too, and so do the clear ones on those basses in post #19.

I voted for a black guard and I'm not normally a black guard guy. Here's a '78 Jazz Bass in Transparent Wine Red that I used to own. Awesome bass in incredible condition...just way too heavy for me so I sold it.

The answer is always black.

Every bass looks better with a black pick guard.

Recently saw one using a clear pickguard on a Fender P bass style body (the name and model escape me though) It it looked pretty dope...It was an orange candy paint on it, but if the pickguard should be thick enough to show a "ghosted" white outline of a pickguard. But that's my .02 on this subject though


EDIT: Found a pic of it...and I was TOTALLY wrong, but couldn't find the Orange one....But from what I found, it's a Sandberg.

yep, the 4 dots near the neck pocket is the Sandberg logo. Also the bridge design is Sandbergs own.

hi Spidey

Yes.

Yours looks like wine and cheese!

(even without holes in the pg )

It’s time we invented a PG with 5-way color selector switch, then you could have any of the above with the flick of a switch.

Absolutely! Remember mood rings?

Do you like contrast?

Pure white has high contrast and stands out.

Cream or perloid blends in more.

Black dullens and darkens the overall view.

Tort may clash with wine red unless it's very carefully selected and then it will tend to disappear.

So, what effect do you like?

We don't matter!

PS: I would go for a creamy perloid

Charcoal grey

Black or BWB.

Our man @tlite just performed a rescue on a wine red MIM that is a great example of how classy that look is.

Also, you never go wrong w/black hardware.

True! The BWB looks great. That said I'd like to see how it looks in gold so that's my vote!

Agreed... BWB for the win!

It’ll be up for sale soon, once I get a consensus of the most popular pickguard to put on it etc

 

[JRA]

i voted black black black black because it was the easiest, most correct choice.

seriously: i think that ax would look good with any number of pg colors --- cool looking instrument!

Yum!

 

[Birdbrain]

One I used to have....cream 3-ply

 

[CallMeAl]

I have always wanted to do a blackout on a red wine or CAR bass.

Black or White pearl is my second choice

 

[Ronzo]

Parchment.

 

[B-Mac]

Tort looks like salami to me. Great on sandwiches.

Maybe more Pepperoni? Still yummy!
