karlfer Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Wonder if Tort Police is an elected position. The current incumbent MOST go! Tort is perfectly allowable with LPB, Fiesta Red, Sea Foam Green, Shell Pink, Burgundy Mist amongst others. Brown Tort obviously being desirable in most cases. I shall be hitting the election trail soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miles'tone Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 F**k the police! (in the nicest possible way of course) this '65 refin really works for me. Plus I don't believe any of us are in a position to tell Pino he's wrong about anything! (I refer to his fiesta red P with tortness of course) Back on topic briefly, I wonder if Limelight would be willing and able to make me a reliced "vintage" 5 string Pbass? A historical folly but it certainly would tick all my boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Tort works on: Any sunburst/tobacco burst, sonic blue, seafoam green, LPB, any white/cream, fiesta red, natural (looks great on a Stingray). The Tort has to be more brown than red....I really dislike the bright red tort as per Sandbergs I've seen and MIJ Fenders (the one I owned anyway). IMO, it looks ok on black, but I avoid black basses as I much prefer other colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
