Green's + tort do also rub me in the wrong way. I know the bassplayer of Otis Redding's liveband (before he used Booker T. & the MG's) had a green+tort P-bass, and it's hideous!
On reading the title my initial reaction was
But.. due to my shallow nature, after seeing Otis bass player sporting surf/tort im thinkin Hmm cooool
I think it works pretty well. The green hues compliment the reds in the plate, and the blues hues compliment the amber in the plate. It has to be a nice tort though, none of those canned corned beef looking ones.
And on I read, Until the day was gone, And I sat in regret, Of all the things I've done, For all that I've blessed, And all that, I've wronged, In dreams until my death, I will wander on. Like a Stone-Audioslave
