blind pilot Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) Got the body coated in primer [attachment=82322:primer.jpg][attachment=82321:primer_front.jpg] Then got some colour on [attachment=82323:shiney.jpg] Needs a couple more coats of laqcuer, then flat,mop and polish, going to turn out quite tasty. I had to put a fair bit of filler in, as there was lots of digs and scuffs, but it has turned out nice - will get some more lacquer on next week, then should get it built up later in the week! Need to save some pennies for the pre-amp, but its taking shape! Edited June 11, 2011 by blind pilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind pilot Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 keep the ideas coming guys! anyway, its all bolted together, and looking rather swish. Still a little more flatting and polishing required in places, but I need the lacquer to harden fully for that to happen. just needs the pre-amp and strings, and a set up, and its ready to rock!

blind pilot Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 Cheers Pete, I like it! I know its not the real thing but one step closer lol. I am thinking it really needs a black pick guard though, as the white looks out of place. But would a pukka one fit? This is the question!

stingrayPete1977 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I'm not sure, If you were nearer I would gladly whip one for you to try. Obviously you have no wheel of fortune so there will be an unused slot for that unless you fit a genuine pre EB one but that would be both hard to find and about £100+ at least. You could get one made from yours as a template though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postage would still be less than a Ken Smith pot from the US though (Yes ,Yes I know the price was set by UPS Blah blah it was a joke). A lot of places will make you one using the old one as a template. Gloss black like a pre EB has would look tasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind pilot Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) Well, here is Darth's bass. I wacked on the Neon green DR's (they feel strange, kinda squeeky under the fingers?) But, I think it looks good huh? All in all at the moment, it stands me in about £54.00 plus some time. [attachment=83559:bass_full.jpg] I still have the pre-amp to fit, but before I spash out on the pukka Musicman stingray 2EQ copy I will just role with my old Ibanez 2 EQ one until I am sure I like it. I will give it a good blast at tomorrows Jam session! Edited June 27, 2011 by blind pilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
