White and Tort!

I like this combination, but only on rosewood-necked basses! White and maple looks better with a black pickguard, in my opinion.
it looks even better with a black pearl pickguard
I bought a black pick guard for the maple necked Jazz. Didn’t like it at all. Looked too bland.

Kibble, milkbones, and P Basses. And redheads.
Call me a fossil, but unless it is cheap photo-tort, it looks good on anything.
I actually thought about an abalone pickguard once to match the blocks.
It even looks good on actual tortoises.
Do you reckon they shield the inside of their shells with copper foil?
Creamy off white (or aged looking white) with reddish tort and a rosewood fingerboard is about my favorite combo. Just pure class.
Thanks! This is my first, but it may not be my last. The thumb feel is amazing.
The Spitfire guy seems to be the only one capturing the variety of tones in old tort pickguards. Some tort is almost orangy-red, and way lighter than anything Fender have reissued recently. This is apparently a '62 P bass.
Now this is where you are wrong.
maybe not for everyone but I like it.
Ordered one from ebay. (not my bass in the pic)
Paint matched headstock?? Or just the lighting? I love it!
