Previously never been entirely convinced by the look of a tortoiseshell pickguard on a black bass but decided to give it a go. I like it a lot (and yes I wish the fingerboard was a bit darker).

I got the Montypresso and left it on for 24 hours after cleaning the fretboard with lighter fluid (I need to use the bass today so couldn’t leave it on for 48 hours). A remarkable transformation, exactly as hoped for. The Pau Ferro could now pass for rosewood. Thanks for the recommendation.

The bass looks fantastic. I'm a sucker for black and tort.

Thanks, it’s definitely my gigging bass for the next two performances at least. This one has always felt just right and now it also looks just right.
