    Tiny Tort Triangles!

    No clue how these ended up in the bottom of my gig bag since I am strictly a fingerstyle player. Maybe it’s a sign that I should learn to use a pick? Of course, the purists will insist that I have to get a sunburst P-bass to go with them… :laugh:

    Just picked up a P bass, plays great and is suuuuper light. Looking forward to modding it out a bit, but I'm having a little trouble finding a tort guard that will fit. It's a MIK "Fender Squier Series" with a VN3 serial prefix. If anyone knows a retailer or builder or even their uncle JimBob...
