Not so "none more black" as she used to be!

 

[dlloyd]

Cool pickguard...

...or since we're both in the UK, cool scratchplate


where did you get it? GSR?

 

[Psycho Ward]

Very Cool!












@ Dave: I rode thru Dundee last Thursday on the way to Glamis castle. I've really got to pay more attention, you live in a very pretty place.

Nice! Is that a SUB scratchplate?

 

[SteveB]

Wow.. that shiny diamond-etched pickguard looks fantastic on there!

 

[Aussie Mark]

Ewww. You did ask for an opinion

 

[pattiejay]

very, very cool

it's like a SUB pickguard on steroids!!

 

[Freddy-G.]

look deeply into my pickguard..........you are getting sleepy............very sleepy......







Now.....give me all your Music Man basses......

 

[LowDownDave]

Ha-ha, NICE one Freddy G. I did think I might be able to use it to hypnotise people. Either that or just blind them! "Give me your Bongos..."

And Yes, you are welcome to have a negative opinion, I can take it! It's not a SUB scratchplate/pickguard (I never realised there was a such a difference in "pronunciation") but actually a clear plexiglass guard I purchased from Mr. Bryan Boots. I figured I could get a clear one and then "play around" with some materials I could put underneath and therefore change "my look" at will!

This is some funky wrapping paper I came across at the weekend I figured I'd try out. My weekend "art project" if you will I couldn't find any paper with FLAMES on, but I'll keep looking for interesting prints and see what I come up with. Any suggestions would be more than welcome!

 

[Mobay45]

That's pretty inventive! Great idea!

 

[Urwordsbreakmed]

I like I like

I think Scratchplate sounds cooler lol

 

[Figjam]

i lieke black on black more.

 

[whamonkey]

Ok....I'll say it. Now it looks like a SUB. (I know, somebody said it) Sorry, I like "none more black". Whatever you do, don't go "Martha Stewart" on us and put flowery contact paper under there.

 

[bovinehost]

I like it, but a cartoon lobster theme would be really nicer.

 

[bassmonkeee]

I like it, but a cartoon lobster theme would be really nicer.

Meh...it's been done.

 

[TiMMay]

I like it,... looks very industrial! tres tres tres cool!

 

[FireAarro]

When it's Christmas you could put some Christmas wrapping paper in. That'd be cool. Or if you were playing at someone's birthday you could put some birthday stuff.. heh.

 

[cgworkman]

Not so "none more black" as she used to be!

I can dig it!!

 

[mike not fat]

I like it, but a cartoon lobster theme would be really nicer.

I would put every month the "playboy pet of the month" underneath...

MNF

 

[LowDownDave]

I have enjoyed reading the WIDE variety of suggestions, ranging from pretty flowers, to cartoon lobsters, all the way to Playboy Playmates (not sure the GF would appreciate the latter!)

It may look somewhat "SUBbish" in the photos, but you wouldn't mistake it in reality with the light reflecting off the 3-D looking holographic designs within. Nothing like a SUB pickguard/scratchplate, but glad the majority of people think it looks pretty 'funky' I wasn't sure myself at first, but it has definitely grown on me.

Will keep looking out for interesting designs and keep you posted if I find anything "better". Cheers for the feedback!
