Stefanogregori Posted March 31, 2016 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
discreet Posted March 31, 2016 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!!

Highfox Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Excuse the gut! This one was white [url="https://flic.kr/p/fgtx4G"][/url] Quote
Geek99 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 I have a cheap tort one going spare if you want to try it Quote

thegummy Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 White P-Bass with tortoise pickguard and maple neck is the ultimate in beauty IMO Quote
dannybuoy Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 The best available option is the one you've already got. Take that money and buy some beers instead! Quote

Stefanogregori Posted March 31, 2016 Author Posted March 31, 2016 Hey all, Thanks for your respones! Really liking the gold anodised guard, looks sweet. Geek 99 and Cygnus x-1 - thanks for your offers, will PM you if I decide to go down that road. Going to have a think about the options! Cheers! Quote
Shockwave Posted March 31, 2016 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

nash Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Parchment, anodised gold, tort (must be a good one though). Quote
thegummy Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 [quote name='pfretrock' timestamp='1459494699' post='3017036'] Can't agree. There are a million shades of white. 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
Hobbayne Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 USA P with tort. Its not real tort anymore, but better than some aftermarket pickguards. Quote
