  1. Thanks guys, and also just wanted to share the personal members of the Spitfire family. All have Spitfire tort on them except the far left Silvertone-Strat-Jag.

  2. @[url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/2189-yorks5stringer/"]yorks5stringer[/url] I agree. I can put you on the list if you're ready. Mine will NEVER wear off on you. Its the real deal, thick, 3Dimentional, and beautiful to look at. Just finished a nice batch this week. Have a look. You ask and you shall receive.

  3. Hey guys, just wanted to share. Stingrays are ready to go. Check it out.

  4. I see your point and I understand and I love helping people out. With my tortoiseshell business, its not just a pickguard. You can get the exact style and color you have always been dreaming of and made precisely to your specifications? When I am working on your guard, I am not just a business, I become your friend. I work closely with you to make it everything you could have ever imagined. Just ask anyone of my customers. Its a one of a kind custom made custom designed piece of art that you can find no other place in the world exactly like you want it. You can find an older used vintage guard which is awesome and great, but you're still going to have to pay even more than what I'm charging. Vintage guards although amazing and gorgeous and my absolute inspiration for even starting my business, still go for $300 and up and you have to take what you can find. Just my two cents looking at it from a different perspective. Its what I do, so of course I'm a little bias lol. I know you mean no disrespect and I also appreciate your complements.
  5. As far as the PBass guards, I am just waiting on the response of my tester. He should be receiving his guard this Monday June 9th. So you guys can get your orders in and get in line if you want.
  6. Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that the Jazz bass guards are a 100% GO. I made a few test guards with success. A few of you contacted me, so please contact me again and you can even contact me through here http://spitfiretortoiseshellpickguards.wordpress.com/contact/ Please feel free to read what other customers are saying about their Spitfire pickguards on my testimonial page. http://spitfiretortoiseshellpickguards.wordpress.com/testimonials/ I am eager to begin working on your guard.
  7. [quote name='notable9' timestamp='1401470546' post='2464007'] Struth your tort is dead on. If you want absolute perfection the black filling ought to be quite thin and not as thick...still nevertheless these are the best torties currently on the planet in my view..bravo. [/quote] You are correct. I have been in search of a company that could make the 3-ply material with the thinner black line, but it seems to be non existent. I tried making some myself and got really close, except it was to flimsy. This has been an ongoing process to find that thin black line material for over a year now. Do you guys know of anyone? And believe me I have checked all the common guitar material supplies companies extremely thoroughly. There is a lot of history behind the thicker black line and after the 70's every company changed. I wont get into details now, but its kind of a cool story why the thin black line became obsolete.
  8. Hey guys, I have some more updates. Here is my first American Standard Jazz bass with a 100% satisfaction and perfect fit.

  9. Great points guys. Bassman Steve, after hearing your point I have thought about just not doing it, but then thought it over and by your comment Noisyjon think maybe making it an option would be cool. I currently already have it limited to ONLY the heavy relic option, but understand that it could go unread. I am going to try it this way for now and see how it goes. I am super close to finalizing the AVRI Jazz bass guards. Precision bass guards I am still looking for someone close to do some test fits. Sorry for the delay. I am also meeting the demands of the Jazzmaster, Jaguar, strat, etc. etc. world out there. Always feel free to keep checking in for updates http://spitfiretortoiseshellpickguards.wordpress.com/pictures-and-styles/
  10. [quote name='Noisyjon' timestamp='1401125149' post='2460328'] The P one looks pretty bent/warped in the 2nd to last photo, will that screw down flat? [/quote] Yes its very flexible and with only a light force of my pinky pressing down, it goes flat. This is only on the heavy relic option. New guards will be flat. Im trying to make them the most authentic as possible and the majority of vintage old guards that get a lot of use and abuse tend to be very warped. This is an added feature I wanted to replicate on the heavy relic guards. This tends to scare people so far. What do you guys think? Should I keep this feature on the heavy relics or not? Its kind of funny to me that someone would want a very warn heavy relic guard trashed, scratched, faded, messed up, but when the see any bit of the warp, there is negative feedback in general. Doesn't it also look weird to have a very used and abused relic guard, perfectly flat, straight, like a brand new guard? You see thats my idea to make my relic guards almost indistinguishable from one from the early 60's.
  11. [quote name='Noisyjon' timestamp='1400862933' post='2457724'] Hi Spitfire7, Any P bass guards done that we can see please - Also what's happened to your pictures here? Cheers, Jon [/quote] You ask and you shall receive. These are both relic versions.

  12. I cant talk price in here, but you can PM me all who are interested in that. I also just did another one. These are for a guy who helped me get the bass line started. He's very happy.
