You left out Johnny Lightning and Aurora Cigar Box carsTort Pic's Or It Doesnt Exist thread, you know, like Pic's or it didn't happen!. Are you not feeling the love in your club when you post a picture of your beloved bass all done up with that beautiful Tortoise pickguard that reminds you of a classic 60's and 70's stringed masterpiece?. Ladies and Dude's, Im not judgemental so you are more than welcome to post them here. I'll start.Oh and something Ive recently learned, apparently there is a Tort guard resembling Salami
. I think Ive seen that one.View attachment 1182313 View attachment 1182314

My one and only now. And couldn't be happier. Although gonna try some TI flats here in a bit.
The tort really adds a unique character to the tonal palette.
Women are wonderful. But I have a thang for redheads.

Bass Guitar Hard Case Fits Most Standard Electric Bass Guitars Hardshell Black 811501026334 | eBay
Only bass I have made in India
Not a blemish I can find on it. Finish is first rate. Looks like Wilkinson hardware all around which I’m guessing is MIC.
Controls all check out with smooth operation and no crackling or static.
Neck is thin and feels great though I’d rather have a satin finish on the back of the neck than the gloss finish.
Worth every penny or shilling
Can you pick out my special request item? Think Fender MIA GL and you should be able to figure it out
Thanks Steve @chowny !
Now to lock myself in the house and woodshed all day!!!!!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a tortified Warwick? Nice!!!!
TBH I don't know. I bought the bass used and it came with this guard. Here's another pic.
