Was the pickguard of the white '60's Mustang (Mustang bass, etc.) more of a red color than the usual '60's Fender tortoise pickguards? That's how I remember them

AFAIK it was the same tortoise-shell color as the Jazz Bass pickguards of the era.

I believe so. However, on instruments finished in white the tortoise-shell always *seemed* to look a bit redder.
