Best Pickguard Choice for Burnt Apple SR5?

[petruccirocks02]

Hey everyone, I'm in the process of buying a Burnt Apple Sparkle SR5. I'm not a fan of the black pickguard, so I'd like to order another one from EB after I get the bass, but I wanted your opinions on what pickguard would look good on Burnt Apple besides, black, white, and white pearloid. It'd be awesome if you guys could just give me your opinions. Thanks a bunch.

The white pearloid DOES look pretty good.

White pearl, definitely.

 

[petruccirocks02]

Hey, thanks for the replies guys. That looks amazing with the white pearloid on there. Just out of curiousity, how do you guys think that a black ice pickguard would look on Burnt Apple? I was either thinking of going with that or the white pearloid. Thanks again.

I would imagine that black ice would look sweet. I kinda like regular old black on burnt apple, so I'd probably love black ice. If you do it, be sure to post pics! I'd love to see that color combo.

I like black on burnt apple , so I don't know.

How much do the replacement pickguards normally run? If they're not that expensive, maybe I'll get a white pearloid and a black ice one, just to change it up every now and then.

Black, no question.

Clear would look good

Black. Plain black. Do not pass go.

I'm in for the satin black...white perloid is pretty cool though...if it were not a 5 string, i'd say go with a clear pickguard

About the clear pickguards....does EB even make those for the SR5? And if I were to get one, wouldn't I see all the wiring and pots and everything through the pickguard? I'm a bit confused haha.

Hmmmm. I'm not sure. Send me the bass and i'll try them out for you.

I'd go white pearl.

 

[Figjam]

Black or white pearl. Since you dont like black, definitely white pearl.

go for the white pearloid, looks bloody sweet in bill's pic, really brings out the sparkle-ness

You would see the wiring with a clear pg.

White Pearloid does rock!!!!
Here's some other for comparison. Sorry there's an extra string or two!

Thanks for the pics foggy. I think I'm def. gonna go with the white pearloid, but I might order a black ice one just for the hell of it too. We can always count on you for the pics. Thanks.

Foggy, thats quite alright, I'm used to that many strings because I am a guitar player. LOL. I play 6 and 7 string guitars, but have just recently decided to switch to playing bass instead.
