If you think this is cool wait until you see the other one....

We made a couple of instruments for a VERY famous artist's bass player. Here's the first one. Let us know what you think and we'll show the other one a little later.

Holy balls. In every sense of the word.

It seems like you missed a great opportunity for gold hardware, though.

Ouch...my eyes!!! =^]

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

That is quite cool. I don't know if I could pull it off, but someone like say, Randy Jackson, certainly could.

 

[MrMusashi]

Very cool AJ! I'll bet musicman nut's circuits are overloading at this point.

Can't wait to see the next one.......

[Razzle]

Very cool!

That looks like a good candidate for the next in the sparkle series!

 

[nurnay]

Wow! I think it's a bit overboard, I bet a black sparkle PG would look great on that, though.

 

[Golem]

`

Lessee .... Elvis, Michael Jackson, and Liberace, all dead ....
so what other, presumably still-living, "famous artist" would
permit himself to be seen on the same stage with that thing ?

Oh yeah, Mick Jagger, he's kinda sorta still alive ... he'd do it.

 

[MingusBASS]

Gotta love that.

 

[Jason Brown]

I wonder if the choice of black hardware was an effort to keep from being ostentatious.

Great word. It definitely applies to the other bass...

Gold hardware would be lost, though, as it would lack contrast against the body and headstock. If the pick guard was a different colour, then it might work.

I like the gold sparkle for the main body, but I'm not digging the bass being THAT much gold. I'd prefer more contrast to balance it out, myself.

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

How do you make a pickup in a sparkle colour? That's a first (that I have seen).

 

[TNT]

The name is Bond - James Bond.

 

[keko]

I believe that "famous artist" could be Elton John?

 

[Gravesend Black]

I guess I'm the one who think that as much gold and sparkles as possible is not rly great)

 

[njhammer]

Nice! That will get noticed.
