Wooden Pickguard Poll

[muthafunkabass]

Alright the bass has a finished ash body, phenolic fretboard (which is basically black), black hardware, and a black pickup that I will put a wood cover on which will either be ash or the pickguard that I decide on. The pickup will be within the pickguard.

I just want some different opinions besides my own. :)

I'm going to be cutting the body shape and pickguard myself, and I have interesting design for my pickguard (surprise).

Figured Koa it's sooooo nice looking.

Need to see a picture of the finish to determine what would go best, tbh.

[muthafunkabass]

It will look like any Ash jazz. Just not the same shape.

I think Korina would look pretty cool.

I would say bubinga, if you can find a nice figure piece.

The rich red of that with the ash and the black would look beautiful.

^My avatar on my TB account is cocobolo. :p





Ebe- You bring up a really good point. Perhaps I could find a wood even more red than Bubinga. Padouk is red, but I heard it fades to brown.

Maybe Bloodwood? Any opinions?

Yeah, I'll be wearing an airtight mask and goggles.
