BigRedX Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Here's mine, a Gus G3 5-string.

I did a thread about it [url=http://basschat.co.uk/topic/29915-gus-g3-5-string/]here[/url] with all the details and photos of the refinishing/restoration process.

[/quote] If you knew how little I actually paid for it in the first place (although that figure was more than justified considering the condition it was in) you wouldn't think me brave, just practical. Plus the restoration work was done by the man who made the bass in the first place. IMO the end result was most definitely worth it. This is now the bass I reach for first when playing, writing or recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 [quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1383303491' post='2262798'] [/quote]Lovely, I do like an orange bass (or guitar for that matter). Did you do that yourself, if so i) bravo! ii) how? I salute all of those here brave enough to refin 'premium' basses, it takes some balls IMO.

You've stollen my idea. Completely. Was going to refinish one of my basses and slap a Hylian Crest on it too. Damn you. Looks nice though! Can't wait to see it when its finished .
