Pickguard Art

[syciprider]

I guess the nicest thing I can say is that if I ever give jack another bass i will super glue the pickguard to the body. Hideous. If Picasso gave you a painting of a lady would you paint your own cindy crawford mole starter kit on it?

Does this mean that we won't have a pickguard art contest here soon?

Ah, but the original black ice guard hangs on the wall in the studio. The "Cindy Crawford Mole Starter Kit" is completely removable!

I like the third 1 as well.

I experimented a bit with pickguards as well but always came back to the original ones.
But when I see those pictures again....haha

Just out of curiosity......
How did you make the last one? Is it a print and then put under a clear pickguard?



A pickguard competition would be a nice idea indeed

 

[Rano Bass]

Very creative for shure!
I like # 3 & 2

 

[jamesattard]

this is my contribution, however i need MORE ideas

 

[muthafunk]

All of them look cool!

I ordered White 3 layered pickguard for my Anny to drill the holes for the thumbrest in it, becasue I didn't want to spoil the original pickguard. I tried many different colour before I ordered one, and I agree the factory pickguard is the best option, I got white just to have something different. But anyway, now I have a spare pickguard for graffiti experiments!

I prefer the "Maja desnuda" (#3) one. Pickguard #2 makes me seasick and pickguard #1, while cool, looks like a t-shirt I bought at a head shop back in 1991.

It is. I stole it out of your trunk a couple of years ago.

I'd say you should ice off the moles.
j/k

I can just see you standing there Jack with a beret on and a screwdriver instead of a paintbrush.

Process-Glues- Paper type?

Traced a pickguard outline on a piece of cardboard. Glued stuff on it until I was sick of gluing stuff on it. Cut out with scissors (or hire really talented gnawing rodents). Put clear guard over, voila!

Those are pretty cool Jack,very creative ideas and the possibilities are endless.

Oh...By the way....how do you like the way I dug up a 2 year old thread...AND...do you still have these pickguards on your Bongos?

 

[Basspro]

WTG Rog,unburied from the catacombs.I think we should keep this going and see other creative ideas come up.

The red Bongo has the abalone guard on it again. The rest are the same....and "yes!" to the Lazarus thread.

Jack

This is just all kinds of cool ...just don't care for it on the red(at least by the pics).

 

[bovinehost]

Might work better on Martini Olive Green, eh?

I may have to check into that.
