Wow. Tort looks alot better on that copper than I would have thought.
Now that’s exactly how they should come, nice one.
Well, it took a lot less longer then I expected to get you those results!
A very close friend bought my P Bass yesterday, and my wife got very upset that Old Smoothie could be getting sold, so that’s staying.
EBMM all the way now!
Looking good! Reminds me of a 90s-era Atelier Z, in a good way! [Edit - looks like Atelier Z is still going hard on the clear guards - even clear control covers!]
I had a feeling I'd be turning this dropped copper from a hot rod to a torts car when I bought it. But @HD007 's avatar sped my process along.
(Too many puns? Is it tort-ure?)
I’m not a tort or dropped copper fan, but those 2 are a great combo.

Glad my ava-tort pushed you to Punsville. Tort and dropped copper rule!
Where did you end up getting your tort reform from?I had a feeling I'd be turning this dropped copper from a hot rod to a torts car when I bought it. But @HD007 's avatar sped my process along.

i like it. I am waiting for my bass to arrive. It is same as yours with white pick guard.
I am thinking about getting a black pick guard, but like yours.
Sounds like your wife and the smoothie are keepers.
I didn’t plan it this way, but I ended up with 2 EBMM basses being my last 2 basses. Speaking from experience, it’s a great feeling and I don’t feel I am lacking anything. On the contrary, I’ve gained a lot. Sometimes less is more.
I used pickguardplanet.com (Chandler).
Arrived pretty quickly, seems like good high-quality material, and was generally a great fit... 2 of the screwholes were about 1mm off of dead center, but a little careful attention made the fitment work just fine with no stripping or weirdness.
I should be having a "Special" arrival tomorrow.
Everyone “should.” At least that’s what I think.I should be having a "Special" arrival tomorrow.
Cool. I saw they had the template now. I was thinking this might look good too:

Glad you found another one. Hope this one is a keeper .I should be having a "Special" arrival tomorrow.
Me too!Glad you found another one. Hope this one is a keeper .
Congrats! Also, that headstock looks like it has a little bit of fun figuring... How does the back of the neck look? Mine is very "plank of wood" plain (which is fine - Nice straight grain) but I know sometimes EBMM basses end up with bonus figure in the necks.
Everything you said is 100% correctSounds like your wife and the smoothie are keepers.

EBMM are just so awesome. I’ve never had a bad word to say about the Smoothie. And oh my gosh is the Special HH versatile. As for Mrs Chiliwailer - she’s the best. Who needs more?!!!
