Hi Ponch, I used Black Conductive Shielding paint on my Ash J Bass and it really helped to accentuate the grain popping. Wimped out and went with the supplied white scratch plate but was all set to order either a silver mirror finish to tie in with all the chrome or maybe just a clear. Was scared off by the potential untidy look of wires hanging around underneath. Maybe one day I will revisit as traditional scratch plates hide way too much of the Ash grainy goodness.
