Bongoloids! Help your boy out!

This baby arrives Thursday. From the pics, I'm not feeling the pickguard much. I kinda want something darker maybe...like Black Ice? But I'm open to suggestions!

So, what pg would look good with Ice Blue?

EDIT:

I bought a black ice pg for the bass but didn't dig it at first.

But...

I opened up the case to my trusty Bongo today and was surprised to see that I kinda liked the pg on it. I wasn't home this weekend any to see it and I kind of like how it ties the black knobs and pickup covers together but isn't solid black either.

It's hard to photo this finish and pg together. Here's an idea:

Black Pearl would look nice on that

 

[bovinehost]

Abalone, without a doubt.

Hmmm...Dis is Cool, goes like Wilma and Fred, Tacos and Beer, Bonnie and Clyed, Starsky and Hutch..


He's Hutch, you know

We're here to confuse and extend your indecision! Post when you decide. Hokay?

I like that white as well, the black ice is cool though and would be a good contrast going back n forth between the one you have & that when u want a change of pace

Call EB and see if they still have a Blue Swirl pickguard in stock. Perfect for Ice Blue. Pictorial proof. JOSH

 

[JayDawg]

Definitely Abalone for that one.

 

[Oldtoe]

Dang, I like it like it is!

 

[drTStingray]

Me too but Abalone would be good.

 

[madbassplaya]

Dang, I like it like it is!

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and suggestions so far. I have to admit though, out of all the suggestions, I think I would prefer it stock. This is why I'm thinking I need a darker pg. I'm trying to find a good example of Ice Blue with black, black pearloid, or black ice. Anyone photoshop or have these photos?

 

[mfallmann]

I'd go for something orange-ish

 

[bovinehost]

Just give abalone some thought.

Just give abalone some thought.

LOL!

I've got the bass in my hands. It needs a dark pg.

Black, Black Pearl, or Black ICE. Thoughts?

 

[J Romano]

Black ice would be outstanding!!!!

 

[bassmonkeee]

It's not ice blue, but it does show the contrast of a lighter blue with black ice.

 

[madbassplaya]

Black ice would be outstanding!!!!

I hope so, cause I just bought one!

 

[rizzo9247]

I wonder how that would look on my incoming blue pearl bongo...send it back!

 

[tunaman4u2]

YES! Way to go Madbass? Did you get through Perfect bass? Use the "talkbass" discount? Only 5% so $2.50 but its there! ha !

 

[strummer]

It's not ice blue, but it does show the contrast of a lighter blue with black ice.

Yeah baby!

^^^kinda exactly what i was thinking^^^ that's nice looking Bongo right there! the striping in the pickguard really helps bring out the grain on that sweet bald fretboard
