Question Pickguard options for my Trans Teal SR5H?

[rizzo9247]

The first two that came to mind that would match nicely would be tort and vintage white/white pearloid, but my imagination switch is turned off at the moment, so if any of my fellow trans-teal-ers have swapped pickguards (and have the photographic evidence to show off its sexay-ness) it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Yes it is maple. The trans teal, black pg and maple board do look great together; looks like the folks at EBMM got it right the first time...

My tinkering habits know no boundaries, maybe I'll just put a sticker on the pg.

A while ago I thought about that too.

Our basses seem to be twins. SR5/trans teal/maple, right?

Well. Because I don't like tort I thought about white. But then I figured that it would look kind of silly, because the pickup is still black. So I left it as it was.

I changed the knobs from black the chrome though. And in a way the PG doesn't appear that big anymore.

Photo to come...

I like the Abalone- the blue-ish accents within the pg suit the trans teal.

Sweet!

That is pretty sweet, I think the abalone will look smashing on the my 5er.

The fretless SR5 on the right is trans teal (it looks more blue in the pic); I put a black pearloid guard on it.

Black pearl pick guard

I have a black pearl pick guard in mint condition For sale if you are interested.

I have a trans teal SR5H with maple board with white guard and white pickup.

I think if you went white you'd need the white pup. I am thinking of getting a white pearl guard though. Just to give it that little bit extra.


The only bass I own that my partner said "WOW!!!" when she first saw it!
