Members The Trump Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 I got this at a pawn shop for 85 no tax, after a little haggling. The guy that owned it previously was a DIY punker at best, and wrote "GOBY" on the fretboard with magic marker, and wrote numbers corresponding to the frets down the neck, and also redid the paint job to purple with a green pickguard. I used paintstripper on the pickguard, but ended up making all the many layers of plastic bubble, so I sanded it smooth, applied lots of puddy to fill in the holes, and then put some pretty cream paint on it. Anyway, here is what I got so far: I know it's a little rough around the edges, I just used spray paint and masking techniques to do this little baby, and it's my first time doing this at all. I plan on putting the clear coating en masse all over the body and then BAM it'll be all done. Good color scheme? I was going for a sort of revamped competition mustang scheme, hope everyone likes!

Members bluestarbass Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 Thats pretty much my fav color combo, blue with maple neck, matching headstock and comp stripes. I wish I still had a pic of my p bass with it had the comp stripes. Awesome project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just put the tuners on it today and painted the pickup black (the lame guy had it painted orange and purple) and I can't wait to stick it all together. But as they say on projects, patience patience patience! Thanks for the compliments, it really feels good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members abceightsix Posted February 27, 2008 Members Share Posted February 27, 2008 Great color scheme! I love the stripes and the headstock brings it all together nicely. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bluestarbass Posted February 27, 2008 Members Share Posted February 27, 2008 Ive been looking at that and thinking I may have a suggestion. A real comp stripe is 2 thin stripes with a thick stripe in between. You may think about doing the opposite and putting 1 thin stripe in between the 2 thick stripes. I think it may make it look cooler. Just an idea. Keep posting pics, i love it so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
