Your quality of life will take a sharp nosedive if I explain the horrors of tort and the history of carrots to you. You are much better off just as you are. Go in peace.
Anyone Know the True Origin of "Carrots"?
...and basically tort (tortoise pickguards) are constantly coming up in the forums... usually from pro-tort advocates.
Tort is a cure-all for every problem your bass could have, in fact.

Oh. My quality of life has just taken a sharp nosedive.
I'm going to eat carrot cake now.
(Can I get a carrot-colored tortoise pickguard for my Alcoa?)

All wrong being on a jazz bass, needs to be on a p bass.
Honestly, I think the tort haters are far more obsessed with hating tort than the tort lovers are about loving it. You rarely see negativity toward the haters from the lovers but there's PLENTY of negativity from the haters.Anyone Know the True Origin of "Carrots"?

Wow, that sure does!
I don't put myself in either camp but I do think that it looks way better on some basses than others. I've seen a few that made me shudder.Honestly, I think the tort haters are far more obsessed with hating tort than the tort lovers are about loving it.

Are those the best headstock decals for metal?
I'm one of the bigger tort lovers around here and I definitely agree with that statement. It's kind of like nice lingerie. When it looks good, it looks GOOOOOD! But it would NOT look good on everyone (me, for instance!).I don't put myself in either camp but I do think that it looks way better on some basses than others. I've seen a few that made me shudder.
i think we should be the judge of that! pics or it didn't happen!
So I think we need a poll:
For Carrot Cake / Tort de Morcovi
Sour Cream Icing
or
White Vanilla Icing
Yes?

Obvoiusly you have not partaken in (m)any TB polls where "carrots" is invariably on the menu!So the headstock decals refer to carrot cake?
That's nice.
Yea. I'm a DB'er. They don't let me out much.
(FWIW, this thread started in TB/DB and has been moved to TB/BG.)
How about this: I have one mandolin with an ebony pickguard, one with a tort pickguard, three banjos with ivoroid pickguards and one with an acryllic pickguard. Does that count? (True, they're all elevated pickguards.)
