[REMBO]

Not a fan of the pickguard at all, but I'm not playing it, am I?

I Value the opinion of the Great Jimmy M!! ....She Sounds Great Though...

That's what matters, isn't it? Nice! Have fun with it!

 

[Guiseppe]

Black perloid

 

[Showdown]

It's a cliche, and a running joke on here, but seriously...Tort.

Yes, tort. Or gold anodized. Or black.

But not the pickguard in the pic. Doesn't work for me at all.

 

[bassliner50]

Anything but white.

 

[interp]

Beautiful.

 

[Alivefor5]

Doesn't the bass in your avatar have a white PG and a rosewood board?

Yes, it does. And since it's a Roscoe Beck 5 it gets a pass.

 

[Kombo]

I kind of like it, but am thinking mint or better yet gold anodized. Maybe even a regular creme as opposed to pearloid? I dunno.

I second this, the pearl also looks real classy though.

As you can see, everyone here will give you every kind of response. Normally a tort fan, there is something about this single-ply aged pearl pickguard that, to me, is quite elegant yet simplistic. I say rock it for a while and let others comment out in the real world. Yes...... keep on rockin' in the real world..........

 

[RandyC]

Sorry, but once I could see beyond the string spacing... three ply black.

Lol. They are 1/2 bassackwards.

I almost, and I repeat ALMOST always hate tort but in this case I think it might be right. Oh My Gourd, what's happening to me?

As someone else said, pink and yellow are not a good combination. Perhaps it was not said in that way....But tort or black pearl for better contrast.
