Stefanogregori Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Hi all, I have a white P bass with a black pickguard on it and have been thinking about changing it for something new. I have thought about a tort guard but thinking I probably fancy something a bit different. Has anyone got any pics of their white Ps they can post for some inspiration?! A pic of mine in its current form is below. Cheers Edited March 31, 2016 by Stefanogregori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Tort would be good if it were good tort. Which it mostly isn't, unless you want to spend a bit. White, black and maple is a classic combination and shouldn't be messed with in my opinion... but there are three main options, which are gold anodized, cream and mint. All look great with white and maple. Avoid any kind of primary colour or any kind of pearl guard unless you want to look like you're on your way to the circus. That is all!!

Lozz196 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Yep, I`d go for tort or the anodised gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shockwave Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Nothing better then a white guard on a white bass. Pimp and classy at the same time. Just looks and screams "Clean" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nash Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Parchment, anodised gold, tort (must be a good one though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the wrong shade it looks awful. [/quote] Definitely. When I mentioned white, it has to be the slightly off-white like "Olympic White" rather than the bright clean white that's available on the Mexican Standards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbayne Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 USA P with tort. Its not real tort anymore, but better than some aftermarket pickguards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
