Tait Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 (edited) my bass teacher's just got this new stingray 5 in black, the model with the piezo. What he told me the other day made my jaw drop, I can't believe it. He planning on refinishing it (by hand, hes not even getting it done professionally) as follows: 1) Spray over black in red 2) Spray over red in blue 3) Spray over blue in white 4) Spray over white in [b]flourescent yellow[/b] 5) Attack with sander, bringing all of the different colours through in splodges Now, do I kill him before he gets the chance? *i just want to add, i don't really plan on killing him. i dont want the cops coming round.

Sibob Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I do hope he's joking just to rub it in your face! if he's not, just clench your teeth, and tell yourself its his money he's wasted Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Yes, strike him down before it is too late. And then give it to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashevans09 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 This could be interesting...in the end it's his bass. I'd be interested to see photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burpster Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 IIWY I'd just let him get on with it.... unless he does someting outrageously sutpid, he wont do it much damage. He may get bored of it and sell it to you for next to nowt... You can get it re finned.... ........ However a certain Mr Clapton got two freaky Dutch acid heads to paint a nice Gibson LP, so it looked like a year 4 painting class had had it for a day.... That LP is now worth a small house in the country, and has it own signature model copying it to every detail..... Strange world we live in....!

Kill him. Now. Tell the authorities that; "BASSCHAT made me do it." Really. They'll believe you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Is he related to Steve Irwin by any chance? Just wondered if he wanted to fsck a stingray in revenge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 It's his bass, Why should you care what he does to it? p.s. there's no such thing as a good stingray anyway so what does it matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanOwens Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I did a similar thing but with pink gloss undercoat and matt black overcoat and just threw it around for a bit. Granted, it was a rubbish 'Rockwood by Hohner' 3/4 size guitar that I was ripping the frets out of anyway. Its actually a pretty interesting look!!!

Bassassin Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Let him. It's a new, production-line bass, finished in black - it's not like it's anything rare, old or unique. If he hates it/sells it, it would be a simple refin to get it back to how it was. Besides, it might look interesting - I've never heard of a custom finish done like that before, & it might work. That said, if it was me, I'd get a cheapo body to try it out on first - if he's considering using an electric sander to remove the layers, odds are he'll make a bloody mess of it that's nothing like what he wants.

The SR4 is a beautiful instrument. How the hell it evolved into those hideous things God only knows. Let him butcher it. It can only be an improvement.
