waynepunkdude Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) This is part 2 of the "screw, fornicate, poo sunburst" series. I bought a Stingray copy a few months back from Marcus Bell it was nice but it was Sunburst ERGH!!!! so I planned to paint it green but what with my old house having no room and me having no time I never got around to it until I moved a few weeks back. Anyway it isn't finished but I thought I would put a sneak peak up. It used to look like this. It now looks like this.

Huge Hands Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) I like it Wayne. I think I may be asking for some painting tips if I ever get round to that point with my second P5. Edited April 28, 2009 by Huge Hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Nine and apparently my last for a while but I have my eye on a P/J. This one has a nice weight to it, I was surprised by the quality of the wood when I sanded it down.

marcus bell Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 hey i remember this bass///haha!!! it has a great sound and feel to it actually i loved it for the period of time that i had it, and when i disconnected the tone wire it was a seriously good match for playing along with stingray tracks such as: get on the floor by micheal jackson thinking of you by chic and the early chillis stuff... looking better now though buddy keep up the good work... marcus x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayfan Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Looks cool Wayne - thought about swapping out the pickup? The Nordstrand one is very good, it's about £70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarPig Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) Damn Wayne! You need to open a hot-rodding shop for basses. That looks sweet! Did you find any checkered knobs? (f'nar) I tried looking for some checkered adhesive vinal, but ney no luck. Edited April 28, 2009 by WarPig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Dave Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Subtle tones from a traditional looking , understated instrument. F**k that for a game of soldiers. This is much more fun. Brilliant Wayne. Let those who thumb their noses stop a minute and realise that in this very visual game of gigging you'll be recognised and remembered from the individual look of your basses alone. Total thumbs up to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 Thanks for the kind words guys, I'm feeling very proud of myself at the moment it won't last long though I'm starting another this afternoon Going to be this colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
