Paisley Jazz Bass

[kevin_lindsay]

I am really pleased with the Paisley P-Bass I made recently.

 

Next up is a Jazz Bass.

I've decided to just use clear gloss coats on this one,  without the tinted ageing i used previously. 

The body finish will have some lacquer crazing when it's completed.

It should look pretty cool when it's completed

All wired up - now to get the setup and intonation sorted

The Paisley Jazz Bass is going to Rob Harris (guitarist from Jamiroquai) in the first week after New Year.

And the bass is now in transit to Rob Harris of Jamiroquai.

Here's Rob Harris playing his new "Dan Huff switching" modified Strat - for an 80s sound.

The bass on the track is Rob playing the Paisley Jazz Bass.

I played some nice dry single note stuff like that last night. Well it was kind of like that once I had hard quantised it. Like that without the tone.

When is the Lindsay 'Motherwell Bass' coming out Kevin? These look great.

Lovely bits of kit! How did you get the paisley onto the bodies?

Paisley paper from Rothko & Frost,  applied using Titebond (to give a secure bond. Plus, I had a big bottle of it in my guitar bits stash).
