Hi Attached is me showing off my latest customisation job (got to find some appreciation somewhere...to the boss indoors its 'just another guitar') This is a Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar Bass once plain black and now BEAUTIFUL It was bought from another BassChat member <thanks Stu> and I spent a couple of recent weekends doing: [list] [*]a strip down [*]stripping the finish [*]veneering with an exotic Amboyna veneer [*]Varnishing with TruOil [*]Cutting the pickguard (which covered too much of the veneer) [*]sorting the neck seating out (Squiers are good but not perfect) [*]covering the pickguard with carbon fibre matting (the tortoiseshell clashed with the colour of the veneer) [/list] The only big challenge was stopping the tiny, tiny carbon fibres from getting in the electrics (they are VERY conductive) It plays absolutely fantastically and I hope you agree that is looks pretty cool too The Tru Oil finish is high gloss and hardens nicely, though will never be as tough as poly or nitro. Having said that, it is VERY easy to repair scratches. Great side benefit is that is smells like a well oiled cricket bat...

Hi Only just joined the group on recommendation from another member who has just sold his. Yes - very interested. I haven't quite worked out yet how to pm and not back on my home desktop until tomorrow eve - can you pm me on [email protected] - I'll be able to pick that up over the next two days Thanks Andy [quote name='mr.sibs' post='1184065' date='Mar 31 2011, 11:01 PM']I have enjoyed this bass for a only a few months, but she is stable, very playable, and has a great sonic range. In very good nick, with only a couple of light buckle scratches on the back. Will come with a Tribal Planet gig bag, not a great one but does the job. If you need to know more read away!
