BassAdder60 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Hi I have a Fender MIM PBass in Silver with white pickguard and Pau fretboard Looking for suggestions to change the pickguard but I’m not sure on colour apart from black Any ideas ?

ead Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I think it's pretty much a black and white decision (sorry, couldn't resist). Grey pearl might be fun though? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cato Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Tortoiseshell? Mind you, I've recently gone from hating tortoiseshell guards to picturing them on just about every bass and guitar I see and liking the result, so I'm not sure my judgement can be trusted.

PaulThePlug Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Nice. on that... Black plate, black screws n black knobs... I'm old n plain and simples or something Bright 'n LOUD... Yellow, Lime Green, Flu Orange... depending on ya demographic? Welsh Flag, Scotish Saltire or other nation (under a groove...) For some reason the UJ or St Georges never cuts it quite like say the Brazilian flag etc. Thinking of Car Drivers and Motorcycle racers...

hooky_lowdown Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 What's wrong with white? Looks classic as it is. I'd suggest black or brown tortoise shell, or maybe aged pearl. Anything else will look naff. 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahambythesea Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I suppose you could go for a mirror guard, but personally I think it would be OTT and finger marks show all the time. Otherwise clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAdder60 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Decided and ordered a 3ply black one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Years ago I had a special edition '57RI Precision in Inca Silver, with an anodised gold guard. It looked totally sweet. I wish I'd kept it. Or taken a photo of it, even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 A bit like this one (although I think this is platinum)? I'm actually rather liking that combo the more I look at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Nada Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I generally dislike white pickguards, however, I think it looks good on silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
