The Old One...but, I'm a Sucker for this combination...Black Tort and Myung, plus, we've been a little lite on Bass Porn here lately.

That looks great. I'm always torn between classic color combos with the Bongo and the crazy bright metallic colors with the Bongo. I guess it just always looks good....
`
Always liked that. To me, it's classic, really an Olde Fendre image
in my mind, but works on anything. I tortied my black SR4, which
meant removing the tort PG that looked soooo cool on my crimson
SR30th anniv . The 30th looks OK with the black PG. The torty did
doll it up just right, but the torty is waaaaay beyond "just right"
on the black SR. I had an old Hohner J-type in black & tort and
that looked perfect, too.
Myung, OTOH, who wantsta look at him ?

Love that look. Taking my old '88 in to be looked at by a luthier. See if he can resolve some issues. If all turns out well, after seeing the black and tort look, I am going to dress her up with a new PG in tort. A new PG will dress the old girl up and make her look good 
Here's hoping the neck issues can be resolved........

My fretless black SR4 now sports a tort pickguard. It is such a classy combo. On a bongo it looks superb. Thanks for posting.

Bad news, good news...... The bad news is that I am stuck with the bridge the idiot replaced the original with The good news is that the luthier found a high spot on the FB at the 8th fret. E string especially affected, A string some, G & D strings seem to be ok. He is going to resurface the RW FB for me and all should be good

Yup, I've always liked that combo. It's why I ordered by Big Al 5 like that and also have another bass with the same setup.
