http://www.ernieball.com/forums/music-man-basses/30950-dont-freak-out-but.html

Tomorrow I'm going to finish it up...

But for now... I think it looks pretty damn good!

 

[DTG]

looks great dude

 

[Psycho Ward]

I look forward to the finished bass pictures, it's going to be killer!

 

[Oh! Henry]

Very nice. A white Pickup cover would look sweet on that thing!!!!!

I'm a sucker for the white on white look!

 

[groove merchant]

Wow, so nice and clean looking without the pickguard! I love it!

 

[midopa]

Dude, that looks really nice! grats!

 

[silverburst]

Daddy likes!

 

[Kristopher]

Nice! It's got a real clean look to it. How about a pic of you playing or posing with it so we can see what it looks like being played?

 

[Psycho Ward]

Screw all that beauty stuff, how does it sound?

 

[ooglay]

I don't know if its the layers of paint I used/gloss... but to me, it sounds a bit warmer than before.

Don't get me wrong, it still has that signature stingray sound.... but its just a little wamer.. reminds me of a jazz.. SORT OF. It may be just a psychological thing, but there is definately a difference.

I'll post some more pics later.. of it being played.

 

[paranoid70]

Really nice work bro.

Guess you are going to have to change your signature.

 

[rhythmCity944]

Great WorK!!!

 

[groove merchant]

The bass looks beautiful, but I want that "Master Of Puppets" barstool!!!

 

[groove merchant]

A white pickup w/out poles (EMG) would be the perfect touch...

Now I know what mine would look like without it's pickguard. Awesome job!

 

[the unrepentant]

No!

Replace a musicman pickup with an EMG? what?!!??

Besides i think the black contrasts the white nicely and it sets off the fret markers
