Custom painted (printed) part bass-peacock context...

[bgmttt]

Here is my new part bass I finished recently and which make me proud of: Warmoth body, Musikraft neck, nitro paint, Fralin splitcoil. The design, paintwork and the printing I made with the help of my wife.

Enjoy it!

That looks great.  How did you achieve the print?

Excellent and slightly different in a very good way. Me like! 

(and I love a dark neck with no dots)

Digitally printed direct over the body:

Oooooh. That gives me all sorts of ideas. 

[Richard R]

That's fabulous!

What sort of printer is it?

[tauzero]

Lovely. Almost makes me want a painted bass.

[Beedster]

Lovely, somewhere between Dusty Hill and Dusty Springfield! Good taste in components also 👍

[odub]

Very cool, and now I want this.

Beautiful work, the way the graphic follows the shape of the body is lovely.

That is awesome. I'd also like to know what printer it is because maybe there's someone local who can do the same - I have a ton of ideas that would work with this approach that I've been reluctant to approach with printed vinyl.

The mashine is called  UV Flatbed printer. It can print on almost every flat surface. You can ask some local print shop which produce posters, signs, etc...

Just looked those up. Not a piece of hobbyist equipment, but very impressive.  Presumably you clear coat varnish afterwards to protect the paint?

 

You mentioned help from your wife, is she the artist or does she own a a print shop? Or both?
