Anyone have a pic with abalone on a DD?

This is a discussion on Anyone have a pic with abalone on a DD? within the Music Man Basses forums, part of the Gear Talk category; I'm thinking about trying out this combo. Sounds like it might be right purdy!...

    mmmm haven't seen one yet, but I think it'd be real purdy for sure... Abalone just brings out any color

    Hey Ben

    What bass do you need one for? I have one for a Bongo 4H that isn't doing anything right now.

    A kinder, gentler collection...

    Hey Rex,

    Ben doesn't have a Bongo 4H.

    But I do.

    Wanna trade? I have a few PGs hanging around.

    Sure. I need one for a Rolls Burgundy 4HP. It has white ice on it which is pretty awful. Black or ivory or clear would be nice. Or pretty much anything besides what is on there now.

    How does one order a pickguard?

    How does one order a pickguard?

    Dealer or EBMM Customer Service? Or elsewhere?

    In reading the headline to this thread I thought "why?", but darn if that doesn't look good.

    :eek:

    ok, nevermind. My corneas are burning from looking at the Dargie with the abalone. It really makes the MOG look puke-y.

    If a DD owner is really itching for a different color pickguard, I'd probably stay away from the blue-based colors... ew!

    Rex,

    I don't have anything for a Bongo 4H.

    Here's what I do have:

    - Sterling H black
    - Bongo 5H white
    - Stingray 4 black
    - Bongo 4HH black ice
    - Bongo 5HH white ice
    - Bongo 5HS white pearl
    - Stingray 5 white (2)

    Anyone needs one of these or wants to trade, let me know. Only the SR4 black is new; the rest have seen some use but are in okay shape.

    Jack

    I think I'll stick with black for now.

    Thanks, all.

    Yeah, that's what I did, too. Abalone didn't last too long for me.

    Is this the new pickguard trading thread?

    I've got a Black Pearloid Stingray guard I'd like to trade for a Abalone. As far as wear, I bought it from EB, took off the film, put it on the bass (trans red), said "nah", then took it off.
