Just for fun - Pickguard Poll

[spectorbassguy]

I'm liking the red tort more and more. Then I can rotate among my SR5's for a change once in a while.

Basses:
SR5 Black Fretless/Rosewood
SR5 Natural Fretted/Rosewood

Pickguards:
Abalone
Brown Tort
Red Tort
Black

Haven't found a p/g for the GrapeRay that looks better than white pearl though.

If you want to go all out pimpin', I suggest abalone, or mirror.

Wow that bass is so shiny it looks wet! Very nice!

Quick Photoshop job (don't look too close):

You don't think it's too over the top?

Yeah, I dig it. Pretty amazing player for a $200 bass.

No more over the top than a grape bass with a matching headstock.

I'm reminded of the saying,"If you're going to be a bear, be a grizzly."

Option 7: Couldn't give a rat's ass.

Go with your conscience....

<subliminal>leave the tort alone</subliminal>

Uh....I do get lost now and then, but that Stingray 5 looks very familiar.

If it's the one I think it is, leave the PG on there. I think I gave someone the black guard it used to have (if that's one of my ex-basses).

No, but I have a Pearl Blue SR5 with a tort p/g!

YEP that's it!

Couldn't help it.....I saw Aussie Mark's Black SR w/ red tort again on the DudePit and ordered one to go into my rotation.

Hm... Is it just me or does brown tort look too dark? Sometimes it looks like plain black. -banned for de-railing the thread-

I think it looks very dark in those pics. Oh well I'll know tomorrow, assuming UPS doesn't get lost.
