Cream.

If you want to get away from Tort; how about Mint, Parchment/Cream or Red Pearl?

white pearl is my favourite

Hi Mark76

what would like good on this wine

Wine is great with cheese!

Without kidding: Parchment or black would be my thing.


may the bass be with you

Leave as is.

The classics: white, black or tort - not the tort you have on it now though, but a red/black tort (it's not a crime to switch tort for tort, I've done it twice already).
Whatever you prefer really ... it's your bass

 

[Mark76]

Here's a picture of my P-Bass (which is actually more of a wine color than red, even though the picture looks very red) with a black/white/black PG.

Is your bass maroon or walnut colored? It's hard to tell from the photo.

According to Thomann (from whom it was purchased) it's wine red. I guess the Fender equivalent is Bourdeaux Metallic

I think it's allready good ! But if you want some changes, maybe - dark brown.

I actually really like the pick guard that’s on it. If you’re set on replacing it though, I think a red or white pearl would look lovely on it.

Too little contrast with the tort. Either black or white three-ply (WWW/BWB).

 

[Mark76]

Surely WWW is just the same as a single ply white? How about WBW?

My red bass pictured originally had a white pickguard. Replacing it with the B/W/B truly made it pop.

I'd say :

1. Ditch the tort as fast as you can.
2. Put on a 3-ply black/white/black.

This.

Another vote for black.

 

[stringent]

I've been eyeing that bass myself. Any quick thoughts on build quality, playability, tone. und so weiter?

Black - one ply or 3 ply, it doesn't matter.

 

[Mark76]

I'm not really qualified to comment on things like build quality, playability and tone other than to say the first two seem fine, IMO, and the third could be improved with better strings or EQ.

I have an Olympic White P with a black guard. Maybe I could swap them and replace the V/V/T knobs on the PJ with two stacked knobs (VT/VT)

OTOH, I'm not super keen on that tort (it's not even real tort). But, who knows, maybe it'd look okay on a white bass

 

[EatS1stBassist]

No one really does a four hole P style pickguard, do they? So whichever one I choose I'll have to drill a hole for the jack.

Does anyone have a similar coloured PJ with either a black, white (aged, pearl or plain) or nicer tort guard on it that they can post here?

They do. It’s for the Precision Bass Special 4 hole

 

[JZQuantum]

White pearl or red tort would be my choice, in that order.

If you wanted to be different from everyone else, I think a brushed aluminum one would give it a touch of modern class.

 

[bassliner50]

Clearly 3 ply black for that bass.
