Just refinished this one:
Damn, dude. That is nice! If it was mine, I would made the screw holes for the bridge plate and a B/W/B pickguard. That's just me, though. It wouldn't stop me from playing this bad boy!
I might have went with a thumb rest by the E string instead, but it doesn't matter to me. I generally rest my thumb on the pickup!
Is the red one a squier? I'm gonna need a good pic of that! The pick guard grey or silver? Looks cool...
Yup, black guard would be cool... But only with all black hardware.
Everyway, it's sweeeet
Thanks. I picked this one up not too long ago. Still getting use to the neck profile. It is true what is said about the awesome sound of Ritters, you can definitely hear the tone of the instrument without any pickup interferences. Exploring the versatility of the EQ and have discovered some pretty awesome sounds.
Caetano, your Squier 5 is goregeous! How do you like it?
I've never had a 5, but I would consider starting off with that one. I hear that that neck is really wide, and looking at your picture, that certainly seems to be the case. How does it feel for you when your playing it? Is that neck managable?
I went with white for the pickguard because that's how the bass came when I first got it, but I've actually been thinking about tort.
I usually play with a pick, but even when I don't, I just rest my thumb on the pickups. It's a bit poser, but the tug bar was just for looks.
@ronaldpdbrandt,

Thanks for checking out my artwork! No need to get used to my Precision, as I've had it for two years. It just got reborn, so I was showing it off here. Here is more info on Berry Oakley's Tractor Bass:

It is a MIJ Fender P bass in candy apple red. The pickguard is mint/black/mint, which unfortunately doesn't come out so well on the pics.

^^^ Very cool!
Sorry about calling your Fender a Squier, it's beautiful!
I can't get enough of those Fender family p basses.

Let's hear it for the 6's! 
My ESP LTD B-206SM (left) and my ESP LTD B-336SR prototype (left). The B-206SM has stock ESP pickups and 3 band active preamp; the B-336SR has EMG's and a Bartolini 3-band active preamp (plus Gruvgear Fretwraps all around).
