It would be cooler if just the middle stripe was tort also.

Tort isn’t always the answer. You gotta respect the stripe.
~Tort is not a crime, however most crimes are (also) torts.... 
I can’t be the first to add this to the tort discussion.Also, FWIW I have tort on a few instruments. Aesthetic preference, like musical taste is subjective. Hope the joke doesn’t fall FLAT.

Best post in the thread so far. LOL.
Is the act of putting tort onto a bass called tort reform?
LMAO I think we’re making progress.
Certainly better than the Pink Floyd thread in Miscellaneous...
Tort is a good answer in many cases,
but I agree, it's not always the answer.
Although I love tort just as much as tort's mama does,
I don't like it on certain colors, blue happens to be one.....057912

The stripe ( very cool by the way) just needs the White pick Guard to accent it’s presence and the number 98 put on it.
Call it the Ken Miles bass. Can’t be beat.

Fortunately, no actual tortoises were harmed in the production of my pickguard. The tortoise pattern featured on the pickguard does not represent any actual tortoises, living or deceased.
Of course not, and wise of you to note My Good Man. Also, my GF (legal asst.) recommends not using the term “tort reform “, and suggests that “pickguard reform” is a more inclusive term. Sharp as a tack that one.

Agreed.I will stick my neck out (no offense to any tortoises) and say that; ”There is absolutely no place for righteous opinions, this is Rock n Roll”
I'm sure that the tort would look the biznizz if the bass were white with blue stripes. Heck the whole bass would probably look sweet that way. Kind of a Ford Cobra theme going on.
I gotta say though. I don't hate this, but I don't love it either. The "mother of toilet seat" pg makes more cosmetic sense. Glad you dig it though. Rock on man.

End of thread right there. All world problems are now solved
Sorry, that looks much better with white.
Tort blows in 99% of applications.
IMO of course. Nice bass
