Soloshchenko Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 (edited) Hi, I'm doing a cheap bitsa project and coming to final stages of finishing. It's a kind of trans black stain. I'd intended to use a tortoise shell pickguard on it but now I'm leaning towards aged white. What do you reckon? Edited July 29, 2011 by Soloshchenko Quote

lobematt Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 I vote for black, or anything dark What body is that?? Quote

It's a decent slab of wood and was pleased with the grain when I took the finish off. It used to look like this: Not bad for £6.50 anyway. Edited July 29, 2011 by Soloshchenko Quote
Bigwan Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Aged white methinks. Tort would work too, but since it's not a solid colour not every shade of tort would look right to me... Quote

Do you mean like these: [url="http://www.greasygroove.com/woodpbasspickguards.php"]Wooden Pickguards[/url] That would actually look awesome! Especially on a bass which is going to be assembled for around £30! Quote

charic Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 I think my choice would be the cherry or the ash Quote
