Thanks. I'm having serious GAS for the Custom Shop Slab Body '66 P-Bass, but the price makes it not worth it. Looking at the Standard P-bass in Arctic White and maple board and just swapping the pickguard to a black one. Wasn't sure how close Arctic White was to Olympic White.

I looked at the color chart and the Olympic is not as brilliant as the Arctic white. Arctic is more of a pure white. One of the things I heard is the Arctic will yellow better when it ages as where Omypic becomes more of a beige/blond sort of shade. I like both so it would be a tough decision. I have a no name bass body on my custom built and it looks like a yellowed arctic white with a black guard and dimarzio model P/J.
