I think @Krescht is your man to ask about all things gold

Well… No 
I do like gold as a colour for the body of a bass, but that’s about all. A gold pick guard might look good on a black body though, as long as the hardware stays chrome

The best color to pair with black is… more black

I saw someone use a completely black pickguard (no white border) and it had this blackout effect - so nice!

I had a bass that I made all black, come to discover, I liked the concept better than the result.

For me the only way it works is with matte black. Gives the bass kind of a more dynamic look than all gloss black, an effect kind of like looking at greyscale photos.
Another thing I love about my particular instrument is that every BB734A I have seen has an exceptionally nice rosewood fretboard. It’s like Yamaha goes the extra mile there. Just a gorgeous color contrast with the black, and it also seems to make the woodgrain stand out more, if that makes sense.

Mine was a Jaguar with an Ebony fretboard, it was all black

Black doesn’t seem like it’s in Fender’s usual DNA, which is another reason the P-Bass Noir is so stunning I guess. The black Aerodynes are pretty nice too though.
Black with Maple is a good look IMO as well.
The weird thing is I don’t usually go for black instruments, but when they grab me, they grab me hard

Yeah the jag was a limited edition.
I kinda miss my black stream, but kinda glad it’s sold too. I don’t need all the basses I have, and my new EHB has a 41mm nut so I got that covered.

Beg to differ
