VWP! Looks great on red. Had one on my 30th Ray and it was a smoking combo. JOSH

Mine's cream pearl, not vintage white. Jeannie's Pickguards.

It's gorgeous. Nice and warm. But then, you've seen it.

Since you're choosing an option for a new bass I voted VWP… but if it were me I'd get the less expensive plain guard and buy a cream pearl guard with the savings.

It does look pretty darn perfect on a bongo...

Heh. You'd think I'd remember that. Close enough to influence my choice.

Tort works for me

Abalone. I think Jack has one with that configuration if I am not mistaken, and it looks great!

Candy Red, abalone, this was a suggestion from the Wise and Powerful Dargin hisself.

 

[rizzo9247]

Hmm, I was almost set on a white variation, but the above two look awfully sweet...

i like the white pearl that came on mine

 

[OldManMusic]

I'm a fan of the white pearloid.

 

[J Romano]

Mine came in basic black:

I voted other - Jack's abalone is a stunner - but otherwise the white ones look great IMO.

 

[rizzo9247]

I have to agree. The darker colors look excellent on a bongo, especially that abalone. Does anyone have a picture of one on a SR5?

 

[jlepre]

I have to say that I am partial to the darker guards when there are black pups present. On the other hand when the pups are white, then the opposite looks better to me. JMHO...

I had a pearl-white and later a vintage pearl-white PG on my candy apple P-Bass. Both looked realy nice.
I guess both would look even better on a better bass (like a Stinger) .

 

[rizzo9247]

Bass has arrived! Would a matching headstock and rosewood board influence any of your votes?

The black does look pretty sexy though, but I'm thinking of something more stage friendly which accentuates the candy-ness of this beauty. I was set on a white variant, but I'm possibly leaning abalone...

Abalone is my choice but then you knew that already.

Did... As is mine... But you knew that already as well!
