    Yeah baby!

    Beth: I would compare Bongo to Tommy Lee Jones. Bad a$$ and just hot in a weird way...

    So, what pg would look good with Ice Blue?

    I think you should go with a black. Maybe with a little red to it.

    Yeah... that's the trick. Red and black. Great NFL colors if I do say so myself.

    I'd say a black pickguard would look nice on it...Silver and Black are great colors as well..

    I ordered the Black Ice and I really hope it looks ok, now that I've ordered it though, I think black may have been the way to go.

    The black would look good, but stark! The white in what you ordered will look better, I think. The White will break up the black and may pick up shimmering tones of the silver. Depends on the look you are looking for. Looking forward to seeing what it looks like with the new pick guard!

    Well, the Black Ice FINALLY came in. It's gorgeous, but honestly I just don't know if I'm feeling it on the Bongo yet. I'm thinking that the black ice or black will just bring out the silver in the finish. I'm thinking that I would prefer a pickguard with blue in it, but maybe a little darker or some black in it?

    Maybe like this? Any idea which guard this is?

    I want a darker pg than what was on it, but black will only bring out the silver hue from the bass and I don't want that. I want the Ice Blue to shine since that's what it is.

    I'm playing the bass right now (Everything is off of my Itunes into my amp)

    It looks better in person, my pictures make the base color look white but its actually a ton of silver that can vary in color like a silver shell\pearl would. The blue is a consistent electric blue

    It would be nice, I should have suggested it prior
