Bikenbass Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Yep, white pearl on white looks good to me. The gold looks wrong in my opinion. Quote

That be off white and tort? I love how the beard tones are affirmed through the pg, and the metallic of the pipe have their antescedent in the tuning ... er ... things. Quote
RhysP Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 I'm generally a big fan of white pearl scratchplates ( I have one on my Levinson Strat). However, there are a couple of things that make me not like the look of the one you have on your bass: The thin black line of the laminate around the edge; it looks like you've put it on your bass & then gone around it with a black felt tip pen. All white rather than white/black laminate would look far better IMO. I don't think the gold screws work with the rest of the hardware. They would have worked fine with the gold anodised scratchplate but I think chrome or nickel ones would look better with the pearl plate. Quote
gub Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 I love iit personally ! Not a fan of gold on anything bass wise including hardware, apart from a brass nut that is ! Quote
EssentialTension Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 I prefer the white pearl. However, I'm wanting the fingerboard to be rosewood. Quote
oldslapper Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Can't help but think, "wedding" when I look at that Jon..... I'd even be happy playing "love lift us up" as a first dance on it, .........but then have to change basses for "take your daughter to the slaughter" as I'd feel I'd be violating it somehow. ;-) John Quote
RockfordStone Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 i like it, i did something similar to mine, only mine was a red tort. the gold ones look naff i think Quote
KiOgon Posted April 30, 2012 Author Posted April 30, 2012 I think it'll have to go back to gold, I can't bring myself to drill extra holes in the body & it don't sit flat as it is I'll save it for a rainy day bass Cheerz, John Quote
