I love the look of pickguardless jazz basses and my CIJ 62 reissue allows for it, but I don't like how it looks in white. The screw holes don't look bad with sunburst or black but they're too pronounced here.

White jazz bass pictures needed!

I sold the bass a couple years ago, but I still have the pickguard. It came from Greasy Groove.
I like white pearloid on a white bass. I also like mint. Here's a pic of my Strat with a mint guard:

Got pictures of your bass?
Warmoth makes various colors. Maybe looking at the various pickguard images in different colors can help you decide on a different pickguard color that will make you feel whole and complete.
Here's an "outside the box" suggestion. I've seen people on eBay selling pickguards made out of vinyl records. There was also a recent thread about it here on TalkBass. I must say, it's pretty tempting. I'm thinking about finding some of the cooler/wackier/holographic LP's and having them cut to shape.

Oh, and for the record…I, too, am not a fan of photo-tort. If it was actually translucent, like actual, classic tortoise shell is, that would be another matter. I mean, for cryin' out loud…they make guitar pics like that. Why not for pickguards?

That, Good Sir, is awesome!
It reminded me about WD Music's pickguard selection. For a small fee you can request samples of left-over material to see which works best for you, up close and personal.

I recently got this. Although I don't think it looks bad, I am not really a fan of tort. I would change it to white in a heartbeat if I could find white pickup covers to match.

I usually don't go for these types of pg but that one on that bass is good - very surreal and would probably look cool from an audience pov.
