Photos Galore: Big Al With Tort Guard

[bovinehost]

The Pickguard Fairy showed up a while back and I've been remiss in not getting some decent photos of the Big Al 5 with its new torty shirt.

Here are a few from this morning.

Very Nice! Great Combo! I just spoke to the Pickguard Fairy yesterday and my Tort is on its way!

 

[njhammer]

Classy combo, Vintage Sunburst with Tort, looks great !!!!

Nice work Jack, do you happen to have a pic with no pickguard a-la-Jaco?

I'd be interested to see what it looks like without a pg

d'oh!

Why did I click on this thread?

Because you're into self-torture.

Yep. I've been here since 2005 and have been married 24 years. I've got so much scar tissue at this point that I don't tongue-test 9-volts to check 'em, I swallow the things.

Besides, I hear that Big Als have larger battery compartments and bend-proof knobs.....

Too funny!!!

All I can say is, I want to be like Jack. That color combo is perfect.

Very nice. Makes me want to revist the tort guard option on my Big Al 5 fretless.

I absoluetly positively hate tort. But that's not too ugly. I actually like it. Sort of.

Do you hate the tort on your 20th?

 

[Rod Trussbroken]

Good match

EB Flats Group 3, perhaps?
Very handsome bass, indeed.

Now were talkin! Best looking big al yet!

 

[Movielife]

Nice look! I think its the best finish for a Big Al, but I would say that

I still slightly prefer the Vintage White Pearloid as it makes the bass stand out even more, but the Tort is GREAT

Very nice vintage look on modern bass!
