    vote for a pickguard

    So I've recently acquired a beautiful Stingray from a senior member of this fine, fine forum.

    It's a natural finish, but I'm thinking of changing the pickguard. Pictured are 1 of the 3 options I'm considering.

    What do you think?

    Black
    White
    Tort
    Other

    Tort or tort, whichever you feel more inclined to do. If you wanted to do something completely different may I suggest tort.

    Tort. Black is nice too, but tort looks damn fine on that bass.

    How about polished diamondplate?

    A friend of mine is making me a black powdercoated aluminum diamondplate pg at his high tech metal shop for my Black SR5 that I don't own yet. It should look pretty nuts with the skull control knobs... quite the departure from my Honeyburst SR5.

    I'd go for the tort! The black is also nice though, gives it a classy look. The plain white is (for me) a definite no-no.

    Tort is classic looking! But I would only change mine to White Pearloid for the odd time I feel a change necesary.
