Checked my spares drawer, no tort Jazz plates except those on basses. Only black or white in the drawer.

Thanks for looking, sir........ appreciate it.......

Thanks for getting back to me guys.......

Just for context, I'm going to recreate a homage to the link below.........

I have a Squier 70's Jazz.........

It will also (hopefully) cure excessive GAS.........

It's very hard to find tort which actually looks vintage.

 

I have in the past used and recommended Jack/Tiny Tone.  E.g. I had this made up for a Yamaha BB (where you must go custom, as they are not sold off-the-shelf):

 

 

That was £54 a few years ago.

 

Last month, I got a quote for a tort precision pickguard: £77 + the cost of me sending him my existing pickguard as a template.

 

One guy had quite a bad experience: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/465816-p-bass-pickguards-uk/ .  His was not a nice piece of tort - and he couldn't send it back for a refund like most internet shopping, because it's a custom-made item. I guess whether you get a nice piece or not is just luck of the draw.

 

So for me even though I've used Jack before, I'm still undecided even after many weeks about pulling the trigger.  You're paying for a premium service when you commission a custom-cut, which is fair enough - but is it worth it for a precision or jazz bass which is such a standard item?  Someone like earlpilanz or a number of other eBay or online stores can sell you one for £10-£15 - and it's possibly even the same source of tort.  And you can return it if you don't like it.

 

I have an unused printed tort for a jazz bass - I don't think it looks that vintage but send me a private message if you want it (for free):

 

 

 

 

Thank you for this.......... I just had a look on Tiny Tone....... there's some nice looking red torts on there..... but like you've mentioned, once it's cut there's no returns....

Hey guys and gals..........

May I refer the honourable gentleman to Juna Serita doing a proper slap version of What is Hip... Funky as!

 

Love this........

I love a bit of slap.  It’s great fun to play it too, IMO.

I remember learning Naked In The Rain as my first slap groove...... I actually drooled while I was playing it....!!!!!

Things like Love Games and Mr Moon still make me stand up.

It’s a shame about the numpties in music shops and YouTube who play 500 notes a minute.   The truth is, it’s a lot easier to play it faster. IMO.

I’ve noticed that sometimes people who don’t like slap bass have tried to do it and failed miserably.

Ooooh......
