?? natural velvet finish??

[TSanders]

A friend of mine told me about a finish he fell in love with at bass central a few years back. he said it was called natural velvet and is very hard to find. anyone know anything about this finish or have pics etc. im really curious.

 

[jubjub721]

did he tell you that he had it

or did you see it
chances are he was makin it up

unless im wrong and am going to look like an asshat in a couple of posts

 

[TSanders]

he told me the finish was on a sterling, but i didnt see it. i thought i had heard of it though. maybe, maybe not.

 

[shaver]

maybe he ment natural saten? satin? or what ever finish, they put them on the higherend fender highway guitars, which is a cheaper verson of their US guitars

 

[TSanders]

but why would EBMM put a cheaper finish on a sterling?

 

[jongitarz]

It wasn't a cheaper finish....It was actually hard to do this finish. It was a satin type finish. A few years back we made 2 for Paul McCartney, and those are the only 2 I have seen....If you see one...snag it!

There were some made before the McCartney models, years ago. I remember them.

Jubs, got a mirror?

 

[bovinehost]

Oh yeah, Sir Beatle got Sterlings, didn't he?

yes i have a miror, why?

 

[uvapete]

a digression.

wasnt natural velvet a david lynch movie?

It might have to be my new band's name.

tonight at the Starr Hill:

NATURAL VELVET

sounds pretty good. I think.

Perhaps you all can help me with a new name.

I've been trying to incorporate the word "Edentulous" (means "No Teeth") into a band name for a while, becuase it is one of my favorite words.

So:

Edentulous Monk (like thelonious monk)

and we'd have Merch made with a crazy mascot type dude who is a trappiste monk wiht the reverse bowl bald spot and no teeth.

and we'd all cut our hair like that.


is what I've got so far.

isn't it frightening that there are a bunch of people in the hospital

Paul plays a wal 5 string as well.

I dated a Chinese girl many years ago who had a natural velvet finish. Ah, memories .....

Jubs, you're killing me, man.

You said you were going to look like an asshat in a couple of posts. I wanted you to check and see if the transformation had already taken place.

But now I've had to explain it so it's not so clever. Dang.

Mark,

You is one bad bro'

There was a drama on UK tele last year called "Tipping The Velvet" - loads of Victorian Girl on Girl action - You'd have loved it!

My thought exactly!!!

Asshat... Isn't there a surgical procedure in which bits of your ass are cut off and put on your head? ... I think those Chuletas de Funk and a recent Family Guy marathon are starting to kick in.

I wish I could give credit where credit is due and tell you where and how I picked the term up....but it's all lost in the mists of time now.

I sure learned some new words in the military, though. Whew, them guys make the stuff up regularly, and none of it can be used if your mom's in the room.
