So, I have an American Black Precision w/ maple neck and black/white/black pickguard.

I need a change to resist getting another bass and am curious who has ideas for other pickguard colors for a black and maple P?

Mint green looks cool - anyone have a photo of a bass like mine with the mint guard? What else would be cool? Is the mint really green, subtle, or closer to white? All photos on the web make it look really subtle and I dont want it to resemble white in any way (not a huge fan of white)... Thanks in advance!

Red Tortoise (without the yellow chunks) or Gray Pearloid would look ok to me.

Mirror/chrome but I may have a slight bias towards that combination.

Here's a 2nd vote for mirror...I just ordered a mirror PG for my Oly White Jag Bass...should look good with all the shiny stuff already on there. 8)

Matte black single-ply 'bake-o-lite' (or gold anodised aluminium just like in the late 50's).

Gold or Copper Vinyl on Montego Black Metallic, Black, Ebony Transparent and Flat Black looks cool.

If it is black and maple, like you said, then it's always black.

But if it is black and rosewood, then whatever.

Personally I don't care for black guitars, but I think tortoise shell on black looks super classic.

I'd go with either White, Tortoise Shell (hells yeah!), Gold Anodized, or something fancy from www.pickguards.com < Especially the graphic ones, you might like 'em.
