anzoid Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Just under a year in the making... purchased cheap from eBay early last year with broken electronics but a killer neck. Put in an EMG MMCS plus BTS control system. Stripped the body to re-finish it and made a hash of the re-finish so sent the body to [url="http://www.jacksinstrumentservices.com/"]Jack's Instrument Services[/url] in Manchester last September to be done in NYC Taxi Cab Yellow to go with the black hardware and custom scratchplate - scratchplate also by Jack. Cannot recommend Jack and Kieran's work highly enough. Excellent customer service and exceptional work for very good prices.

waynepunkdude Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Here's one I did a few years back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzoid Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Ghost Bass - love the strap... then checked the prices $450 upto over $2000 - bit out of my league waynepunkdude - very nice! I did think about getting the headstock done like yours at the same time but in the end figured I'd leave it plain maple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_Bass Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 You can go for a cheaper alternative but those yellow stripes on the side look way cooler. https://www.punkrockshop.co.uk/detail/musical--instruments/strbwck&cur=AUD&cur=GBP?category=musical--instruments&code=strbwck&cur=AUD&cur=GBP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
