Refinish Musicman SUB

[bradfordws]

I had my SUB5 refinished by Marty Bell - silver flake + had the two contours cut by a repair shop first - it's my disco bass!

[fly]

And are the pickguards of a stingray the same as on a SUB?

yes........

That must look amazing under stage lights. Very cool. I would love that bass even more if it had a matching headstock.

 

[fly]

i was gonna say the same about the headstock...^^^....very nice bass none the less.

Look at my baby. I wouldnt dream of attacking it with a belt sander.

I normally don't really like those SUB's but that white 1 is just really good looking!

I picked one up dirt cheap and am thinking of striping the paint from the back of the neck as it is a bit dinged up.

aha! i was waiting for that one to come up! lovely bass

mine was pretty mutilated when i got it, second pickup route, big hole for a side jack, holes for those little washer type neck bolt things rather than a neck plate, i thought i might as well go the whole hog and routed a big hole in the back for the installation of a bongo pre and it's going to need a refin too.

how it was before (yep, olp neck, status and basslines pickups, total bodge job):

big hole in the back for bongo pre :

still not done, there's a link in my sig for the whole thread, it's a good read IMO.

I found a black pearloid for my sub 5.
