Pickguard?

[philthygeezer]

What sort of pickguard would look great on my SUB5? Photoshops appreciated too!

 

[MingusBASS]

Tort

 

[Aussie Mark]

I'm thinking tort as well. Would go nicely with that naked board.

 

[robobass13]

tort goes great with black, and just about every other color as well.

Clear. And then put some fun stuff underneath... or a real black diamond plate, but that's maybe a bit too much heavy metal for a fretless

 

[philthygeezer]

Hmmm... maybe tort. I was thinking a white pearloid might be nice and I usually don't think that. Would the pearloid be a bit much for the rugged matte black finish?

Nope, not at all, IMO.

Tort would also be killer, as black/tort is always classy looking.

 

[RobertB]

I'm thinkin black ice.

 

[robobass13]

hey there T.sanders, I like your avatar.

 

[bigvissch]

I think black ice would look great!

 

[carpedebass]

+1 on the clear with something underneath...'specially on a black bass.

 

[Dr Stankface]

White pearl or tort.

 

[fly]

dude.........black basses look sweet with black ice guards.........

and when i get the white SUB.....i'm gonna put a white ice guard on her

I'll go with black pearl. I think it would match the look.

I'll go with black pearl. I think it would match the look.

I have the exact same bass and put a Black Pearl pickguard on. It looks great and looks like it would have come out of the factory with it.

Chandler Guitars Pickguard Heavan did a great job; the pickguard didn't need any adjustments and the holes lined up perfectly. Ernie Ball Customer Service referred me to them. Their website:
