Karlfer - nice to hear from you - that EQ pedal has done wonders for Mrs TimAl's loathing of bass through the kitchen ceiling during practice! Commissions are possible - but really I see it as an 'ad hoc' thing - whenever I come across a bass that is suitable AND reasonably priced I'll go to town - I think a Viz one would be rather cool, plus perhaps some brand of strong alcoholic beverage - but early days. Agreed about paper bag, may have to rethink headstock logo & change it to 'Faker' . . .

Thanks guys - much appreciated that it's being received so well. Much to my delight I've just picked up a Flying V bass, so Bat Bass III is looking a distinct possibility, unless anyone has any other ideas for themes? At least there'll be no issues with headstock decals with that lil beauty

[size=5][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]Hello there all,[/color] [color=#000000]I started a thread yesterday about my Bat Bass on this hallowed forum in the Basses section - but because I mentioned it was going up for sale the thread was removed, then subsequently edited & relisted by the mods because it was viewed as too much of a sales pitch - so I'm listing it here to gauge any interest . . .[/color] This is a truly unique bass built by myself as I've always liked the idea of decoupaging an old Batman comic onto a bass, & this one is a genuine 1971 comic. In a nutshell, the process involves cutting out the comic & sticking it all over the body with PVA glue & then spraying clear lacquer over the top to give protection. I also commissioned a unique engraved scratchplate plus a bespoke headstock decal that's also lacquered & looks quite the part! [color=#000000]This Bat Bass uses a Squier body & all electrics (bought from [/color][b][color=#282828]Mark_88MPH [/color][/b][color=#000000]on this very forum) with a non-branded relic'd maple neck with truss road adjustment from the heel. [/color] This is NOT a new bass & it was finished by hand so it does have some marks to it, along with the odd crease where the comic has been wrapped & stuck to the edges of the body - which is only natural! - but nothing at all that affects its playability! I'm sure this would not be your 'go to' bass but it certainly works & sounds like a P should! In my own little world I've listed how much I believe this bass is worth to me - but I am open to serious offers. I would positively encourage you to come & visit to see him in the flesh, so to speak, to make sure you're totally happy with him before parting with any lolly. I'm just outside Bedford & work from home, so am pretty flexible with timings. If that's not possible for you I'm more than happy to securely bubble wrap & box up if you wish to arrange your own courier. Payment by PayPal 'Gift', bank transfer, or good ole fashioned cash in hand - plus no trades, swaps or magic beans please. All comments - both positive & negative - are most welcome. Cheers Tim[/font][/size]

Thanks Ray - much appreciated indeed.

Hey there mikeh - I'll take this please - just PM'd you. Cheers Tim

Terrific! Replied PM replied to

In which case I'd love it then please! Just sending PM . . .

Hello there mcnach - is your Big Muff still up for grabs? Ooh err . .

If this is still for sale I'd like it please! PM sent

PM'd

I have one of these - although the amp part is in blue, so I'm not sure if it's older or newer - but I can highly recommend these combos - fantastic tone & highly flexible too - have a bump on me! GLWTS Tim

SOLD SOLD SOLD! Hope you'll be very happy binky_bass. A Marlin eh, thanks for that. That Ritter is indeed amazing - I did think when doing mine (well, binky_bass is the owner now, officially!) that I could do a printed vinyl wrap - but I preferred the idea of old school yellowed newsprint as the main 'pattern' plus the obvious edges of each indivdually glued piece - certainly gives it a far more aged & 'used' look. What's next I wonder? Not sure if it's in good taste but I really like the sound of an old black & white Page 3 bass with a F****r Porno Bass headstock . . .

Holy Smoke binky_bass - it's no use! I knew you'd employ your sneezing powder, so I took an Anti-Allergy Pill! Instead of a sneeze, I caught you, cold! Deal done subject to the usual blah etc blah.

binky_bass - PM'd - Kappow! Thanks all for your comments. Marc_S - it's permanent. Comic cut up into bitesize pieces & glued on to the body, the glossy shiny bits you can see are the comic masthead & images from the glossy front cover, all the rest is newsprint so much more subdued. Once all that was dry I then lacquered & polished, to make it knock & sweat resistant! Headstock is your 'normal' waterslide decal process, but with a bit of artistic licence on the wording Cheers all T

Hello there fellow bassers, I've lurked around this hallowed forum for quite a while now, never posting really but I have bought a couple of beautiful things from you guys. This is more of a feeler than anything else really - as it's not an original Fender, I suspect it'll have limited appeal as a 'player' on here, but visually it's rather fine indeed, if you're in to that sort of thing. I'm expecting some negative as well as positive comments but I would really welcome your thoughts on this unique bass. I have a few ideas on evolving this style of finish, but wondered if you have anything to add to the pot? Although playing fine, this bass came to me as a visual wreck - so I've done something I've always fancied doing & decoupaged an old Batman comic on to a bass. This is - in a nutshell - involves cutting out the comic & sticking it all over the body with PVA glue, then spraying clear lacquer over the top to give protection. I've also generated a bespoke headstock decal & that's also lacquered & looks quite the part. Hard to say who made this bass - obviously it's in the style of a Fender Precision, but with the truss rod adjustable from the neck heel I suspect it's an old Japanese Fender copy - something along the lines of a Hondo. Do any of you have any ideas? The truss rod adjuster is certainly, erm, 'prominent'. Just in case this is anyone's cup of tea, this is NOT a new bass, quite obviously, so it does have some marks to it, along with the odd crease where the comic has been wrapped & stuck to the edges of the body - which is only natural! - but nothing at all that affects its playability. I appreciate it's not an original Fender but it plays great & sounds typically P too - plus it’s got new strings on. Give me a call on 0744 639 44 55 or drop me a line to come & give it a try before you buy - I'm just outside Bedford in MK44 - however if you’re farther afield I’m happy to box up & post by courier to you for an additional £15.00. Payment via cash on collection, or bank transfer or PayPal ‘gift’ if you wish it to be posted. I've priced the Bat Bass at £125.00 as this is what I feel would be a realistic price that I'm happy to let it go for. No trades or magic beans please!
