Clearly, the COVID pandemic is really stretching out to the point where accessory shopping has kicked in full gear! I have a Lake Placid Blue American Performer Fender Precision. I'd like to change the pickguard and I'm leaning towards a mirror, smoked mirror or brushed metal (simulated - and mirror is reflective material to simulate a glass mirror). I've attached a pic of my bass, plus several Photoshopped simulations of with the 3 contenders.
I know that this is a super-vain thread, but the blue is an interesting colour and I'm interested in what others have done or what the consensus is on these 3 or maybe other pickguard options. Right now, I'm just getting feedback from my wife and two girls and 2/3 are leaning towards smoked with mirror a close second. Not much love for brushed and the 2nd daughter doesn't seem to think that this is important enough to comment on. I'm tending to agree with the opinions so far, but am definitely open to other points of view and thoughts. Thanks!
