Very good point about the Jr.LP guard. It would be a diff,but great look. Sounds like Doc ought to cut some tortise paper out and see how it looks. I bet he likes it.

But black could be nice too!

I've seen Rippers with tort. I just don't like it. Hey, he asked, I answered. I don't have to have a logical reason.  8)

You sound like the Gibson bass department. Obvious they don't have any reasons to produce or discontinue basses and reasons why they've made certain basses;)

Good idea, I could print something off the Internet and try that.  Thanks!

I hear ya Dave.  I used to hate tor as well as sunburst finishes.  Now I love, for no particular reason, my brain just says "Oh yeah, I like that!"  Can't figure it out.......

OK, here she is with a mock-up LP tort guard.  I can't believe how good it looks!  Providing you like tort, that is!  I'm working on a mock LP Jr. guard next.  Do the black knobs look OK with the tort or should I use another color?

I like tort generally, but on this Paula b/w/b would look better, sorry!

I'm going to be the voice of reason. Tort is just wrong to me on this bass.

5 ply black & white would be much better.

The knobs look great.


Really nice bass which I think turned out better than a flame top. Sometimes accidents do turn out for the better
