I just got a chrome red MIM and I'm interested in POSSIBLY changing out the white pickguard. These are the ones I'm considering:

White Pearl
Black (BWB)
Cream Pearl
Gold

Just looking for opinions. I may just leave the stock white one.

Also, I know: No pictures = No bass, so I'll get them up ASAP!

Oooh, nice one. A little Steve Harris action might be cool.

Good idea!

Well, I did end up going with the mirror. Thanks for the suggestion, tommy. I did make some other changes as well:

Badass II
Seymour Duncan SPB-3 Quarter Pounders
Rotosound SH77's

Very nice, harris has a red bass like his blue one... same everything! I have dicided that it's cool that you have rosewood...it can be like harris' and have your own touch!

Here is a cool solo with the pic of him and the red bass...tho this solo he uses an acoustic bass

Very classic bass solo!!! Thumbs up harris, up the irons!!! ***** (5 stars)

I'm glad you decided it's cool. I originally wanted a maple fretboard, but I couldn't pass up getting the bass new for $350. Well, really, I originally wanted the Steve Harris Precision. After mods, I still ended up spending way less than I would have for a new 2009 MIM with a maple fretboard. I've really warmed up to the rosewood anyway now and I LOVE the chrome red.

Cool after about a year the mim prices will go down to 300 again, every thime they upgrade something it always goes up in price!

Your bass made me think of the red harris video, cool vid right?

I think the mirror is an excellent choice. FLASHY!
Of course you'll have to keep it really clean! Also perfect for combing your hair before going on stage...

Price cut Tommy? Personally after another year I'll be delighted if Fender has survived this very serious economic crisis. Remember, they didn't get a congressional bail out like the banks, stockbrokers or auto makers. Fender is in essence a small business, except for the CBS collapse they have been historically a very successful small business yes, but compared to the Bank of America and GM our beloved Fender is in essence a small business. The latest price increase, coming when it did in the throes of an economic collapse may be a symptom of something very unpleasant to even contemplate. Let's keep a watch on the patient. Remember, every time one of the local music stores liquidates, Fender has probably lost a dealer. I think the days of $459 P-basses are gone forever. That doesn't bother me. The possible loss of the musical icon does...very much.
