Spitfire pickguard for my Stambaugh

I think I know what you're referring to.

Having ordered from Mark for years and visiting his website so many times, what is the "really weird page" on his site?

I have a few Stambaugh basses, but my burgundy mist 4 string has always been my #1. And one thing I've wanted for it forever was a true tort pickguard. So I splurged on one from Spitfire.

I love it.

The tort on your SB-1 looks perfect. Beautiful bass! And one of my all-time favorite color combinations. I have a (somewhat) similar Lakland Jazz, but mine's Aztec Gold.

It gets into a topic that isn't allowed on these forums, so anyone curious will have to figure it out for themselves.

Hmmm. Why are pickguards so big? Not needed on the horns.

He publicly espouses views that the vast majority of business owners (and many individuals) keep private. It’s a major turn off (CRINGE!!!!) for some.

I designed the pickguard shape. It was my attempt at blending a Jazzmaster and Single Coil Pbass pickguard while following the contours of Chris' body shape.

Here's it's sibling with more of a Roscoe Beck inspired pickguard design:
