Okay, so I feel like this is going to be love it or hate it but my thoughts were something along the lines of Prince’s Tele... thoughts? Opinions? Back to the black guard?

- I am DWA or Dantone, I build DI boxes, microphones, and effects, some for sale
I’d go back to the black.
The leopard print PG makes it look like a purse with a chihuahua hidden inside on a shopping trip to Ross.
Hey, that's exactly it's attraction... Just like a middle aged dyed blonde in a faux leopard coat, it's appearance says exactly what it's supposed to!! {-And they'll both grow better and better on you with time...}
Enjoy,

Hah! So, what's the appearance say exactly? "I'm past my prime and still think I'm young. But I'm due for a mammogram and the spray tan doesn't spray into my wrinkles anymore."
Only if you are going to pair it with a leopard print body suit.
Nah... But you've really gotta be old enough to interprert and dig it yourself. It says "I'm different and independant and I don't give a good s**t whatever you may think about it. And I'm hot stuff too, so if you're man enough to deal with all that then say hello. Otherwise get lost.."
Wise, hot old women; -the best that ever happens to silly old men!

So I gotta ask where you found that? Any Tokyo Tortoise I've ever run across is 1 ply where this obviously is w/b/w/t. I like it. It's interesting. So where is it from?
It is interesting... really wish it was a smaller pattern of tort and then I think I would like it better... I bought it on eBay from a UK pickguard maker: earlpilanz
Whoa! I think you have more P basses than I do, but some of my father's P basses live with me...I don't have a complete family shot, but I have a '51 Reissue, a 1970 refin, a 1975 parts P, a 1998 American Standard, a Highway 1, an Aerodyne P, a fretless Jazz Bass Special (really a P), a Mendel P, a Cowpoke, a P Lyte. And I'm still envious of your collection!

What is that finish on that bass called? I really like that and it looks really good with neck. Not sure if it's just the lighting, but is that a roasted neck?
It’s a roasted maple neck on a butterscotch blonde body
Nice. I used to have a bass with a very similar finish but something about the lighting in your pic makes it look different. Here was my butterscotch StingRay:
Having natural light (like my photo) makes a big difference in that finish... had a bunch in mine, really helps it come to life
