bgmttt Posted Friday at 14:27 Posted Friday at 14:27 (edited) 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! Edited Friday at 17:09 by bgmttt 27 Quote
odub Posted Friday at 14:38 Posted Friday at 14:38 That looks great. How did you achieve the print? 1 Quote
itu Posted Friday at 16:33 Posted Friday at 16:33 Excellent and slightly different in a very good way. Me like! (and I love a dark neck with no dots) 1 Quote

Richard R Posted Friday at 19:35 Posted Friday at 19:35 That's fabulous! What sort of printer is it? 1 Quote
tauzero Posted Friday at 20:14 Posted Friday at 20:14 Lovely. Almost makes me want a painted bass. 1 Quote
Beedster Posted Friday at 21:05 Posted Friday at 21:05 Lovely, somewhere between Dusty Hill and Dusty Springfield! Good taste in components also 👍 2 1 Quote

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. 1 Quote

Richard R Posted Saturday at 12:40 Posted Saturday at 12:40 (edited) 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?

We work together in a advertising agency. Sometimes I think it would be great to work in something other than IT. Then I remember how much I like food and shelter! Hats off to you both, but especially your wife the artist. 2 Quote

I’ve always thought “millionaire playboy aristocrat” would be a good swap … compare and contrast … reading/writing code, talking to users, hoping you get your bonus and that nothing bad happens over Xmas versus getting up at lunchtime, endless sexual partners and having a bath in actual money whilst sipping the finest wines available to humanity hmm…tough choice Edited 7 hours ago by Geek99 3 Quote
