    I voted other....I think clear would look good. I like the woodgrain on the body and the choices you gave I just cant picture it with any of those...so yhea a clear guard would be nice.

    I like the white that's on it now. Since it has a traditional Fender feel I'd get rid of the string tees it has and use a regular Fender style round one.

    I like black on natural basses, like the Marcus Miler Jazz, but that has a maple neck...

    Can someone tell me PLEASE tell me where they get the custom headstock logos made?

    Do you do it yourself? How?

    Is there a place you can have one made to your specs? Where?

    I have looked, you know.

    Indeed.
    I'd suggest nothing for a pickguard. The natural look would seem to suit it.

    On a natural body with a blocked neck, have your pickguard match your neck accents.

    In your case, that means white pearl.

    I reckon it looks nice as it is - plain white is not a bad thing:)
