ORANGES!

 

Looks great though, a very individual look at gigs I’d think.

Very cool (to me) and a further demonstration that tort goes with everything! Where did the body acquire its orange sparkle? Custom refinish?

Yes done by Bow Finishing. The finish is absolutely flawless but they’re not cheap. I had a P body in Tidepool and really couldn’t gel with it, so got this done. Also bought a loaded pickguard from an American Professional II and a Mexican neck, Hipshot tuners. Only fiddly bits were cutting the nut slots and soldering in the two ground wires.

It's great to see a fun finish.

 

Don't get me wrong, black and white basses are all well and good, but not exactly much fun.

 

With Sire and Sterling now doing swirl and sparkle finishes, bring on the the fun revolution!

So good, but why the pickguard? Let it all out!

For me a P bass is totally wrong without a pickguard. But when I put it on after the refinish it did upset me to cover up so much of the orange sparkle.

Bass had its first live outing last night. I think it’s safe to say orange sparkle is a Marmite finish, judging by the mixture of comments afterwards 😄

Ignore the haters, it's ace!
