Al Heeley Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) My Stingray really needs a little facelift. Its been stuck with the cream pearlescent one since I bought it bu now calling for a new pick guard but can't decide which way to go. I can't find a metal chrome one to match my black tele, the nearest is a clear mirror plate which would look cool against the black fleck, or do i just go for classic black? [note: this pic is not my 'Ray, it's another black fleck one found on google images, mine's a maple neck and 3-band eq plus piezo but the body and scratch plate are same] Edited October 27, 2011 by Al Heeley Quote
Al Heeley Posted October 27, 2011 Author Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) you know, chrome calls me, aurora projects (crazy LED neck boys) do some ..... [edit] ok they don't, they do polished aluminium which tarnishes quickly, or mirror acrylic Edited October 28, 2011 by Al Heeley Quote
Subbeh Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 I'd be tempted to go with black pearl, having said that I do like the way it looks now! Quote
Hobbayne Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 How about a nice red one? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/158609-transparent-red-stingray-scratchplate/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/158609-transparent-red-stingray-scratchplate/page__fromsearch__1[/url] Quote
Al Heeley Posted October 28, 2011 Author Posted October 28, 2011 Good try but nowhere near shiny enough. I need the shiny things. Quote
Grand Wazoo Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) Tort would look awesome... [IMG]http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r200/xt660/3e2b4934.jpg[/IMG] Edited October 28, 2011 by Grand Wazoo Quote
Al Heeley Posted October 28, 2011 Author Posted October 28, 2011 was just thinking how great the chrome control plate looked... Quote
ezbass Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Tort or black pearl are other options. I know this isn't helping and just adding more indecision. [IMG]http://i308.photobucket.com/albums/kk344/ezbass/P2050045.jpg[/IMG] Quote
swanbrook Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 I love it as is, tort is cool too but if it was me I would think about clear and put a design under it or a picture of something. But I do love the white pearl. Quote
Al Heeley Posted October 29, 2011 Author Posted October 29, 2011 does anyone have a mirror acrylic one? Quote
mcnach Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) It's got to be a black one, in my opinion. If you're considering mirror ones, I have a blue mirror one that could look cool. Here's a picture of it on my natural Stingray, simply placed over the original black one, not screwed in. The apparent scratches is just the plastic protective cover which has never been removed. I ended up with a cream guard on thsi bass, and later I put the original black back on. Edited October 29, 2011 by mcnach Quote
Al Heeley Posted October 29, 2011 Author Posted October 29, 2011 if i can't get a proper chrome one then I think it will have to be black, it will match my Geddy jazz then, thats already had the black scratch makeover. [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/alheeley/6292571515/][/url] Quote
MikanHannille Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Can I buy that white pearl off you if you decide to change it? Serious here. Quote
Al Heeley Posted October 30, 2011 Author Posted October 30, 2011 err, sure, why not you buy the new black one then we exchange them in the post? Quote
