I'm not going to suggest what you don't want...I'm sure some people will...but I will suggest this:

Usually searching "white jazz bass guitar" on ebay will bring some results, but today this was all they had.

You might just have to imagine what one of these would look like on a white Jazz bass.

Exactly like mine, except for blocks&bindings: both classical and cool (usually this color match looks interesting), but the AQP pg looks very nice too...

I just changed out a Black Pearl PG back to a White PG, on an Am. Std. Olympic White Jazz, with a Maple board.

I think the black pearl might be the winner, the blue pearl looks good too

I know I'm pretty middle of the road between the Black Pearl, and the White. The Olympic White body, with a Maple board, and White PG stuck with me when I first saw Hendrix with his Olympic White, Maple board, White PG Strat.

once you put proper pickups in, black starts looking better!

My 77: It was white....at some point...back in 80's. a 3-ply BLK PG will give you the 70's look.

Or... no pickguard:

OP’s might be a MIM with that hole thing in the body.


Maybe get a cool concho and put it there.

You can get banned from talkbass for not liking tort.

aged white pearloid ...

Here are a couple of tort variants available from Axetreme Creations. Neither looks like a typical tort.

The first one below on the white Mustang is called "real tort" which is an image from a real turtle of some kind. The other is called red tort but looks a bit like red pearloid. They used to call it red abalone.

Hmmmm...looks JUST like my old DJ....wonder if it is....the blue guard was a way to set it off from other white J style basses...it is actually a pearloid...

I would have been banned long ago if that was true!

To me there are few color combinations for a Jazz bass that are better than Oly white/Tort form the sixties. Unfortunately, Fender has let the quality of their tort guards go to pot. The closest you are likely to get to a vintage Fender tort pickguard is this: Gallery | (Note: his color patterns vary widely. Make sure you know what you are buying.)

Anodized pick guards look sexy on white

Glad to see that I'm not the only one who thinks that a tort pick guard on a white jazz bass looks killer. Also agree that a redder tort might be better, and that pearloid is great, too.

But if the OP doesn't like it, then it doesn't matter. So how about a clear pick guard with something underneath it? Invalid Link Removed

A friend did this with his strat, and it looked great. He sliced up various band and record store stickers (remember when record stores gave out stickers?), but a lot of different things would look good.

 

[Stealth Fighter]

OK, since the OP doesn't like tort, how about this?

Mint is decent, can't do clear, the body has the CNC location hole underneath
