To tort or not to tort, that is the question

No tort please.
Don't ruin a beautiful instrument.

 

That is a fine looking bass the way it is.
They don't all have to be tort.
As long as you have tort in your heart Nobody will love you.
Needing to tort can be a great excuse for getting another bass that is found wanting.
Check your local tort rescue shelter.

 

So many other cool options that would look sweet on that bass it would be a shame to tort-ure it.

 

No pg, and nickel roundwounds imo. Rock.

Edit: you're gonna need to get a special control plate from somewhere, I'm pretty sure you can find it.

 

Many here say that a bass must have tort or it isn't quite legit. But allow me to retort because that statement is false.

A bass must have tort AND FLATS to be legit.

 

Seriously a gold anodized pick guard would rock and groove on that sweet honey burst.

 

No Tort.
No Pickguard.
This one will look good Naked, so be proud and show your wood.

 

Thou shalt not Tort

 

Wood is good.

 

You're kidding, right? Have you seen what a P-Bass looks like under that pickguard? Unless it was back-routed, and intended to be naked? That ain't a pickguard, man; it's a "cover up the holes so you don't fall in" guard... But, yes a definite to NO TORT...
