I am thinking of changing the look of my MIM jazz bass sunburst, to make it look a little different. I have seen replacement pickguards in weird colors, but Im unsure of what color/pattern would suit the sunburst. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions make the bass slightly more individual? Here is a picture of an identical model if it helps, thanks...

I agree with Nacho-Nacho Man.

The tort that looks the best with sunburst has the big yellow chunks and swirls with nice bright red flecks. Awesome on a sunburst.

Be careful about fit when buying pickguards. Nothing is worse than buying a pickguard you love, getting it home and then finding out it won't fit your bass. Now that is a bummer!

yeah it took me 3 attemps to get mine, and on the 3rd one i had to sand it down for like 30 mins.

also i spent £40 on it, which is insanely overpriced, but it was worth it :P

I have that exact bass, in lefty, and the very first thing I did was replace the white guard with tort.
