Hydra19 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 (edited) I couldn't get a satisfactory guard cut by tiny tone in Manchester. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/465816-p-bass-pickguards-uk/page/3/ This is what I got for a 60's dark red tort. Too much yellow for me. I will try gig.ink. Thank you Edited June 26, 2022 by Hydra19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. What Gig Ink do (brilliantly, I might add) is use clear plastic and the custom bit is what is printed on the reverse. I don't think that would give a realistic tort finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howdy guys, Thanks for the fine comments here - very much appreciated 🙌 Just to confirm, yes indeed I do produce my plates by bonding hi-res full-colour printed exterior grade vinyl to the rear of clear shatterproof acrylic & cut to shape, so my plates don't replicate original fit multi-ply plates BUT as well as printing your images I do have have my own library of designs on file which include a LOT of different torts in many colours which can look astonishingly good - plus the gloss finish of the acrylic can be knocked back with wire wool - or simply a green Scotchpad for washing-up - to give a wonderful soft sheen if that's your thing. Choices, choices, choices . . . hope that helps a little! Cheers Tim 🍻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydra19 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 That tort on the white bass is perfect. Can I send you my pickguard and we work something out? I'm just looking for an acceptable tort, I was fine with WD Music, so I don't think I'm too picky and as long as it looks decent, I'll be happy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
