NJE Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I'm thinking about a tort guard for my Roscoe beck but no matter how long I look at a picture of one with a tort guard I cant make up my mind if it works or not. What do you think, add a new pickguard or keep the white one?

wateroftyne Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 It works... do it! But.. get Howard the Bass Doc to make it for you. He's got some lovely tort in at the moment which is a lot less pepperoni than the usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTB Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I'd go for it. Personally, I think it looks great both ways so why not have the option to change it up when you feel like it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Not sure the tort works so well with that colour as it does with black, red or white basses.... Then again, I don't think the stock plate looks that great either Of the two, I prefer the tort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkstrike Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Been wanting a mirror one for my 4 stringer as long as I've had it. I wouldn't go with tort on this one, colour clash just doesn't suit. Black or vintage perl might look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJE Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) Cheers for the comments and thoughts, I had thought about black and pearl but I think I quite like the colour clash for some reason. I may get a few and start with the tort. Just need to make sure there is some money free first. Edited August 28, 2012 by NJE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 agree with getting a proper one custom made.... there are some cheap and nasty prints out there... and they really don't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman Steve Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Howard is in the process of making me a tort guard for a '73 P-bass and I can't wait to get it. Tort all the way!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kees_SoS Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I think the white one looks more like it belongs on the bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
