Lomo,
They all look great. I like the fact that each bass is a bit different.
I thought pearloid as soon as I saw your bass. Tort would look good as well. Hell...anything will look good with Sonic Blue.
My VTPJ5 will have a tort guard, Nordstrand NPJ5S p/u, and will be a V/V/T passive.

are you putting a pick guard on? if so.. what color?

 

[Tslicebass]

Should be able to get some pics up by tomorrow.
Took the bass out on a pair of gigs yesterday. This bass is killer. I need to set it up to my liking (action was a little high for me) but the tone is killer. The bass sounds huge unplugged... extremely resonant. Plugged in, it definitely does the jazz on steroids thing I was hoping for. And it is way lighter than my CB's... which was the main reason I ordered it. All in all, I can tell once i get my setup going, this will be a keeper. More in depth review coming soon.

Yes. Its going to have a tort guard.

If some @$$ didn't try to hack my Citibank account today, this bass would of been completed. Instead I spent 2 hours at Citibank and now I'm gonna call all my Credit Card Companies and see if there was any suspicious activity on my accounts. Sucks to be me right now.

 

[Mendry37]

The bass can wait Nino. I hope you can get everything straighten out.
