The official "Tort Pic's Or It Doesnt Exist " Thread.

As in it was a pile of parts, and now it's a bass.

I love when a plan comes together... Good job!

Might just be one of the finest Bird's Ive ever seen, Ive never seen any Bird with Tort before.

This was definitely a rule breaking 'Bird from the start. Wrong pickups, wrong pickguard, wrong neck.

Forgive me for mentioning this, but...that stuff is nothing to do with a tortoise. It's petrified pepperoni.

Having stated that do you realize you just walked into a pepperoni fest?.

This is a mod I had done of a Rondo Hadean 24 inch scale bass uke, the tortoise pickguard, thumbrest and truss rod cover made by Eric's Guitar, and painted Olympic white by Pat Wilkins. I added the chrome Strat knobs, clover HipShot tuners, LaBella Deep Talkin' flatwound 25 inch strings made exclusively for the Gold Tone M-bass, and I made the Tortoilele headplate decal.

Great, now every time I see Tort on a bass I'm gonna get hungry!

Im wondering if the creator of Tort was just some dude holding his guitar/bass while stoned and dropped his pizza down and it got wedged between the body and strings pepperoni side facing out.

ABG !!!

Sorry it’s a six-stringer, but innit more fun to talk about Stratocasters with bassists than Stratocaster owners...?

EBMM!!

I don't presently own a bass with a tort guard. This was my last one, a nice medium scale Matsumoku precision. JohnK cut the guard from a nitrocellulose blank:
