Well, a while back me and Travis swapped pickguards. Since my bass had a white pickup, we didn't even start to think that it was going to look good. To our suprise, it was actually a sexy combination but the effect of it is starting to fade away. I mean, I like the combo but i'm just think maybe I should switch back to white pearl. Here are some pics.

Out of those 2 choices, I'd go white pearl.
Before the tort freeks come out, let me say TORT!!!

Here's a pick of a Morse. It's not exact. You'll have to visualize it, but I think the red on red looks really sweet! :)

I like it... I also recently put black pearl on my honeyburst (SR5), just to see...
kinda looks cool, sure looks better than plain white IMHO.

But I agree, it wears off... I'm already thinking of trying something else, just for
the kick, LOL (maybe tort?)

A tort guard would still give it the same look with the white pickup. I was about to edit my original post and change it too "festering pimple" but its too funny not to leave there.

Yes Tiffles. You got me thinking of the white ice. :p

It originally came with white pearl but I always thought it looked too plain. Heck, I just might get a white pearl to switch back and forth with.
