tired of Tort, tired of life

That maybe is true or is it I’ve just got taste!!!

If a tort 'plate clashes with the colour of your bass, then you've bought the wrong colour bass, simple.

It's still better than a plain piece of plastic. I bought a sunburst Jazz recently, got it home and ordered a tort plate before I had the kettle on. Didn't play it until the next day when my lovely tort plate arrived and was on the bass. The white/black/white Fender plate it came with has been hidden from human eyes.

I won't mention it again. It's sat in a drawer with other non-tort guards removed from various Fenders, with one tort guard that hasn't got a bass to enhance there to keep them in order.

On the brighter side, they dont use real tortoises any more

They never did, it was celluloid. And tortoiseshell came from turtles. Wow, two actual facts in one post! 

Nice tortoise though.

Mint

I'm going to have a stab at making my own, primarily because the none of the pickguards available in the aftermarket fit a Vintage V4. I'm thinking of making a mint one and a tort one and see which I prefer

You can spray your existing pickguard. Mint paint is available. You can't spray tort though, unfortunately. But you could always slice one off the Tortloaf...
