I think Black Pearl should be best choice for now, just they should make them darker.

Offtopic: Maybe I'm from Poland, but I was DaBears fan, thats why noticed he is from Green Bay and my primeval instincts came up to life, hahahah. Of course I'm sorry if offended)

I said i WAS their fan! From many years I'm in a GANG GREEN - J!E!T!S! Jets! Jest! Jets!

Speaking about pickguards (hahahaha line above is non off top, still same topic) how about a pickguard in a Hunter Green color (Jets' jerseys)? :twisted:

If the green is for GREEN BAY instead of the Jets than I'd say go for it.

Actually I think any color you pick will look good, their quality is good. It's totally a choice you have to live with. I like the blue pearl, bright, or the burgundy pearl would look nice on white.

I'm sure if you order from that company I gave you the link to, they'll get one to you. They were easy to work with, and the item was good quality.

My vote is the burgundy, it's a nice dark red, would look great against white. Can you try and photoshop that?

Man that black paisley is cool, the flags too.

Here's the link for the company again, Jeanine Pickguards,

I guess the name is "black cherry pearl" rather than burgundy, just click on the link and than "pearls" on the top.

I'd rather go with Black Pearl or Paisley. I think black-grey pattern fits that bass most IMO. Still trying to figure out what kind of graphic I can put on pickguard instead of pearl one?

In that case you may want to check this place out. I got a guard for my 78 Fender Musicmaster from there once and they have lots of graphics, not sure what the cost would be or what they're capable of, but they were also good to deal with.

I found my fav guitar shop in Germany got those black pearl guards, but soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo expensive! if regular black or white p/g in poland cost about 25zł (in polish currency) that black pearl cost over 200zł !!!! And beer cost 3zł hahahah. No freakin' way i can buy it! Damn! i guess i'll do what i did with previous p/g's... I put a sticking foil on it, plain or graphic i order from somewhere. Once i had sunburst jazz with mint green p/g and i put black foil on it and it was amazing. My best match. Why Squier make CV's in white only. At least Fenders 60's Classics are in white, black and sunburst. I like white body but it is so hard to match a p/g. With sunburst i will have no doubts - plain black! For black - parchment white. For wine red body - white pearl or plain black. And for all those wierd ones like lake placid blue, surf green, seafoam green, and light blue, etc. of course parchment white plain or aged white.

I did check those shops you linked me, but it is much more expensive to get from there than from germany. So thanks for help but if you really wanna help me with this... i got birthday on October 30th, hahahah. Remember - dark black pearl. :twisted:

Oh, I see where this is going, birthday requests now? :lol:

Sorry they weren't much help, maybe the sticky foil is the way to go. I've painted 'em in the past too but there's always the "wearing through" to that method.

Yeah, painting may wear out, but printed sticker won't. And i guess i need to find black paisley pattern and print it on sticky foil or something. I thought about laptop skin. P/G dimensions fit 17" cover. They make it quite thick, non-scratchable and protective, and you can stick, remove, stick, remove... No glue, just oiled or static. And they have pretty big amount of designs...
