Ok...I pimped my Bongo

[barkatozz]

I thought the stock black pickguard was a little boring so I decided to make a change.

Very Bling.....as I believe all the kids are saying these days

I like it! I'm not a big fan of black basses but that adds a nice amount of "bling" so it's not boring.

Good choice!

 

[Darth Tater]

Nice. Did you get it from www.pickguards.com?

I'm thinking of getting a Tort guard for my Lava Pearl Bongo

 

[Psycho Ward]

Very Cool! I've been thinking of getting a chrome guard for my black Hot Rod P-bass.

Nope....got it from Bryan Boots a.k.a. Dazbootman......excellent quality.......much cheaper.
Your right Mingus......that's why I got it....wakes it up quite a bit.

Wow.. I've seen pickguard swaps before, but I really, *really* like what that chrome has done for the black Bongo.

Awesome modification. It kinda reminds me of a cylon from "Battlestar Galactica" for some reason. Now if you could just add a sweeping red electronic 'eye'...

All he nees now is a flashing red LED now (could move up and down the fretboard) and he's cylon-ofied, in that case.

How does it cope with fingerprints?

Ain't had it long enough yet BUT my Blue Pearl Sterling has a Chrome p/g as well & I really don't leave fingerprints when I play.

Bryan made me a mirror pickguard for my Cort Curbow Retro. Black does, indeed, look great with mirror 'guards. He even did a mirror trussrod cover to match. Someday, I'm going to get some lipstick pickups like Jack's new Lakland to complete the shinyfication of the bass.

Musicman Bongo content--

I thought about getting a mirror guard for Moby, the White Bongo. I went with gold acrylic, instead.



To answer the fingerprint question--they suck. Really. My problem is much worse, though: rubber pick shavings. It's the most obnoxious thing in the world.

Hey monkee, that looks quite cool. But that Curbow sounds pretty cool too.

 

[oddjob]

Bryan made a mirror pg for Kermit

the prints are bad but clean up real easy with reg maintence (little Windex and a papertowel after I play) - if you stay up on it it isn't too bad, but if you let it go awhile you have to do some heavy duty scrubbing.

 

[tiffles]

oh my gosh thats gorgeous!

 

[Darth Tater]

Okay, how does one get in touch with this guy to make a pickguard?
