Here's my cheapo, bought Feb 14 HB PJ Bass, you can clearly see how the pattern has worn off due to my thumb resting on it, maybe for 24 hours in total? I've contacted Thomann to see their view of it.... Edited July 11, 2014 by yorks5stringer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire7 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) @[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.

I also wanted to see some more samples of the faded orange - I like this one above, is it faded orange with crazy 70s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTUK Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Love some of these tort pics and I had mine made by Sims which I really like. I've seen some horrible cheap stuff so if the bass is good, it is worth paying that bit extra, IMO to get what you want. I'd be encouraged by some of the good pics..and totally discouraged by the cheapo stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameltoe Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) They look like the surface of the sun! Awesome! Never liked tort, I guess because I've only seen repro stuff. The orange tort on the white jag looks great! Edited July 20, 2014 by cameltoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire7 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 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.

PTS Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Hey guys, I just had Spitfire make me two awesome guards and they turned out perfectly. The Jazz bass guard is a perfect vintage spec Fender Jazz bass pickguard, but I need it to be without the center screw hole for my custom project. He is making me another, so this one is currently available if you are interested. Just contact him through here or [url="https://spitfiretortoiseshellpickguards.wordpress.com/contact/"]https://spitfiretortoiseshellpickguards.wordpress.com/contact/[/url] Cheers! Paul S.
