lou24d53 Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 It works for me, although I'd prefer the lighter sonic blue option better personally. Quote
Weststarx Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 I like it, certainly a lot better than my pink guard on the black I put up the other day... If I had a Lake Placid Blue personally I would either go for a black or white pearl guard. Quote
discreet Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Well... you know what I think about it - a mint or parchment guard would suit LPB much better. In my very humble opinion, of course. Also, it reminds me of West Ham's colours, so where's the good in that?? Quote
leschirons Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Normally, I don't like coloured basses but this, has to be my fave bass pic. Okay, it's not a Fender but just looks so cool. Quote

Simon. Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Fender Japan have a colour called Old Lake Placid Blue, which I just love. I have serious, serious GAS for one of these (but with a pearl plate on it): [url="http://[URL=http://s1138.photobucket.com/user/Simon_Ritson/media/JB75-OLB.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n535/Simon_Ritson/JB75-OLB.jpg[/IMG][/URL]"]http://[URL=http://s1138.photobucket.com/user/Simon_Ritson/media/JB75-OLB.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n535/Simon_Ritson/JB75-OLB.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/url] Quote

johnDeereJack Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 I just love that colour combo: a nice dark LPB with a tort guard and[size=4]matching headstock. Mmmmm, nothing better! (imho of course!) [/size] [size=4] [/size] Quote

Cat Burrito Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 It's one of my favourite combinations although I prefer it with rosewood to maple. I've only owned a white pickguarded version 20yrs back in the days where I didn't think to change the pickguard! Quote

JamesBass Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 It's what I'm going to be going for on my Limelight P when I order it! Complete with a Rosewood neck! Quote

discreet Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) [quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1406642422' post='2513334'] Nice. What level of relicing are you going for? Limelight would be a serious contender for me if they did 'new looking' ones but apparently they don't... [/quote] You could ask for a 'very light' relic... I asked for a 'medium relic', but it kind of turned into a 'medium-to-heavy' relic... I'm still delighted though, as very early Jazzes to tend to look a little... worn, sometimes.

[quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1406715296' post='2513971'] I'm still thinking Jazz, I'm still thinking LPB, and I'm still thinking tort... [/quote] Well two out of three is pretty good. Quote

The lighter the better for me, I want it to seem warn, especially on the neck but I wanna wear it down myself, having a head start is always nice Quote
