i hope this doesn't offend anyone, but i kept looking at my black pick guard and decided it needed something. so i painted cartman on it with testors model paints,then clear coated it with poly.

 

[Figjam]

Well for what it is, i think its a good job, i wouldnt do it to mine but thats me.

 

[Mr Light]

What's offensive? You just made your bass even more-so yours.

 

[Figjam]

Besides, its a pickguard; easily changed if needed.

that's what i thought when i did it. any suggestions on a different color that would go good with the teal?

 

[Figjam]

If you want something a little more classy, white pearloid. Personaly id try to pick up a clear pickguard or stay with black.

 

[Mr Light]

...Hmmm...

I'm thinking of a yellowish (custom) pickguard or orange...

...Hmmm...

Perhaps Tortoise?

 

[prickly_pete]

Hey man, I love it. Cartman rules!

 

[todd4ta]

For Teal I think black or black pearl work best.

I just can't see orange being a step in the right direction.

You might be right. Very few options to go with for that finish.

 

[j rug]

I think they got it right the first time with black. Black pearloid could work too though.

 

[Psychicpet]

that kicks a$$ !!
as for alternate PG... TORTOISE SHELL!!!

SWEET !!

 

[adouglas]

SCHWEEEET !!

fixed it for ya....

It's good that the paint is only on the pickguard. I'd humbly suggest getting a replacement now, and storing it, so that the bass can be returned to its original appearance later on.

Why? Well, Cartman is cool today.

In five or ten years? Maybe not so much. Pop culture icons are like that.

Consider the guitarists who went and painted their Stratocasters to look just like Eddie Van Halen's back in the 80s. Looks plain stupid today. Had they left them alone, those guitars would still look good.

Fads come and go. Understated, timeless designs endure and are always cool.

I think you did a great job. I also think Cartman is hilarious, so all in all it's awesome.

Maybe paint a cheesy poof or two so he has something to eat?
