Where to Buy Coloured Parts & Strings?

I am after some coloured machine heads, and strings etc. as a way of personalising my bass

Where can I get them?

I was looking at coloured strings yesterday..we all know about coloured DRs but you can also get coloured strings from Aurora:

http://stringsbyaurora.com/our-strings/our-colors

DRs will provide custom sets to dealers - not sure about to customers but they are available in the following sizes:

[font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]30, 40, 45, 50, 60, 65, 70, 80, 85, 90, 100, 105, 110, 120, 125 ([i]not[/i] 0.35 though)[/size][/font]

[font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]If you're into a set of multi-coloured strings you could go for a set of Alice multi-coloured - available on eBay for about £8 - surprisingly good value and the colour stays on.[/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]With your machine heads you could just get some plastic and shrink to fit with a paint stripping gun...[/size][/font]

[font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]I'd like to see the results...[/size][/font]

There used to be a US seller on Ebay that would let you choose what colours you wanted of DR ones - I got 6 different ones for this bass

I'm getting a Dean Playmate from my other half for christmas

It's black, so I'm going to add some coloured strings, machine heads etc, to personalise it (in green) as well as some other features

For the sake of shrink wrapping plastic onto them, I may as well get some metal paint, and paint them and put a layer of sealent / gloss on top to prevent cracking
