I thank you, sir. The next one will be better, I promise. Seems like the guard is a bit Marmite...

[therealting]

I'd be tempted to try to check the nitro...

[bcbass]

I like it,looks very nice.Gold PG is must!
Is it heavy,some geezers complained about?

[Geek99]

I like the guard how it is.
Sound file?

[Grangur]

Looks great. I recon you need a tort PG. Best order some tort paint too.

[BrunoBass]

I've been thinking about doing something similar, now having seen what a great job you've done I'm going to press on. Well done, it looks amazing and I look forward to some sound clips.

Regarding the template, was that something you downloaded or did you simply just draw around the headstock of a MD sig?

[tobiewharton]

This looks brilliant! I think you've done a fantastic job. Personally, I'd keep the gold - it does set it off with the brass saddles...

Everytime I hear someone say 'gold pickguard' I shudder a little, but this is a real looker! The re-shaped headstock looks great too, I bet that was a bit nerve racking!

[/quote] Me too. The problem I find is I end up spending more time fettleing than time spent playing the thing. Then I end up with too many basses again.

[yepmop]

That's a really lush bass, now I have serious GAS for one

Here we go, then... the audio clip suits the bass mod really well in that it was a bit rushed, I got impatient and the whole thing would have been much better had I taken my time and done it properly... It's a bit noodly, but you should get an idea of what the bass sounds like. 2 minutes.

Bass DI through an Edirol UA5 Audio Interface into FL Studio 12.
No FX except for light compression and a little reverb on the intro.

Ha! Tort paint? Very funny. Everyone knows you slice tort guards from the Tortloaf!

Well, you live and learn!

Really like the bass though. It's given me another round of gas again.

[Geek99]

Too many garlic éclairs?

[keefbaker]

It looks great, but I'm not big on the sound. Mind you, for the price of the bass it's not going to have gods own pickups in it, is it.

[neepheid]

Yup, sounds like bass to me

Nice playing though, sir!
