Jimothey Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I had a LP copy that I sprayed the same colour scheme as this but I did a red go faster stripe up the neck hoping it would make me play quicker!! 😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its funny, I was looking for a red tort plate for my black P earlier and one of these was on a bass that appeared in the search results.

I know bugger all about basses (apart from how to lose money buying and selling) but make a nice cup of tea and can keep score well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
