A plain solid color goes best with fishnets

You look pretty good in those...

I've never owned any instrument with tort.

I used to share a house with a piano in burr walnut - close enough?

NOBODY would survive a minute without tort, so the OP is 100% dead and this imposter stole his account.
Tell us where's the body. Now.

As we all know, Tortliness is next to Godliness, so you have clearly strayed from the Paths of Tortliness, with all the sorrow and damnation that implies. Its not too late, cast aside these evil deeds and come home to Tort. Tort Abides.

I thought I felt a wobble in the force!

Nope. Can't do it.

I played bass for over a year before buying my first tort bass. I survived because I had this thumbpick in my "unused things" collection:

 

[Acoop]

I'm not a fan of what passes as Tort these days. ... The Spitfire Tort is the closest to the 'real' thing but, it ain't cheap. ... Either go real or go home.

If it's modern tort you're missing now, you're not missing anything at all. It's either 60s tort, 70s tort or Spitfire. Modern tort is ugly pepperoni looking junk.

 

[Flamingo21]

But what if you love pepperoni?

 

[Interspace Station]

It's either 60s tort, 70s tort or Spitfire.

OR authentic Italian tort. No substitutions.

Nothing satisfies like tort.

But what if you love pepperoni?

If you love pepperoni on your bass, then you've got no shortage of torts to choose from

So tonight is the first night in 20 years that I won’t have a tort-equipped bass. I downsized, or maybe right-sized, from seven to two basses over the past two years, and neither of my current ones sport tort. Well, I do still have tort guards for a Stingray and a Jazz Bass, so I guess I could just look at them if I get desperate. In all seriousness, it feels a little bizarre!

Hmm... bizarre like that dream in "Bull Durham" where Nuke is pitching a ballgame naked?

You've got the tort guards, so I'd say stash 'em with the porn for when you're feeling naughty

This thread is plain tort-ure…..

 

[Matt_Raymond]

My main player has tort. As does my favorite bass in my collection. I feel sad for you.

 

[shrigg]

I can't live without my OG 1962 tort. Even though I'm playing my Mendel more now

Buy a guitar to keep around the house just to plink on, and get one with tort. Maybe just knowing there's some tort back on the homestead will help?
