Question Stingray pickguard. Black, Pearloid or Tort?

[paranoid70]

Hi guys,

I have a Black Stringray with a tort pickguard. I have been thinking about changing the pickguard to either Black or Pearloid. Would you foks mind posting pics that have either combination?

I love pearloid, but wonder if it work for black w/ matching and rosewood. I definitely think a Black pickguard would look good. I guess I could always leave it alone too.... I just think I would like to try something different.

Here is the bass as it exists today.

The new Vintage White would look nice... JOSH

Moonstone. Or Gold Swirl. Vintage Pearl would look cool too...

and you would change the look of that bass because...???

well, i guess there are days that even Angelina thinks she's not all that, but then quickly realizes that yes, she is all that.

yes, I'm biased to Tort, it's the best, but with that said the new Gold Swirl looks funky as well as Orange Swirl just cuz it's so wacky!

I'd go with black. Classy IMO

 

[Aussie Mark]

Leave it. But black would be a good option too.

I have the tort pickguard on my Silhouette Special which I like alot. I just was thinking of a different look for the Stingray.

I hate tort, but that looks cool. Also all black and white pearl would be nice... or mirror

Abalone is the new tort.... well it was for a while. I still like it!

I think tort looks the best on black. After that my choices would be abalone, white pearloid, black pearloid. I find black on black to be a little bland.

Tort's almost my first choice and I think it works well on that bass.

Black pearl looks great too and I'd also guess a white pearl would great as well, standing out nicely against the black body and rosewood board. The black also works, kinda stealthy.
