Putter bass?

With apologies to Waynepunkdude for nicking his title. I present my very 1st bass, An Indonesian Squier P/J, which over the next few weeks, with lots of input from TimAl (who's doing all the hard work) will hopefully be transformed into a steampunk/War of the Worlds themed monster! [url="http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/Mkul0/media/PJnaked_zps089faad8.jpg.html"][/url] here she sits, stripped back and ready for Tim to go to work, there have been other threads recently on the exact process, all I know is Tim sticks on pages from a graphic novel I came across that I liked, adds a custom pickguard and headstock logo. I'll add the electrics and then......we shall see.

Tnx for linking that, I would have missed it otherwise and I really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the rest

*hangs head* Ok gonna go take a pic of the Yam now.

Not quite green basses, but I haven't got a pic up yet of my teal Yam TRB5 [URL=http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/Mkul0/media/P1000668.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h391/Mkul0/P1000668.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Aye, stuck a MiM pickup in mine, which sounds good, need a half decent jazz P/U for the bridge end though. It also had a no-name fretless neck I bought on here for a while..that's off again now though.

never really been one for ebay, especially after all the horror stories on here, but for low value stuff, I'll have a peek, cheers

Tnx for that fella, will give it a go

Yup doing that, a little at a time, and then waiting a day for it to settle. No one got any ideas for sourcing comics then?

So...how did it go?

JUST what I was looking for!

I don't understand the question.....you mean its not?

Nothing actually decided yet, but after seeing TimAl's old threads sticking comics on old basses, I'm tempted to let him have a go at my Squier P pro. One of his scratchplates should finish it off nicely and I already have a couple of ideas for this using his nifty website. [url="http://www.originalscratchplates.com/"]http://www.originalscratchplates.com/[/url] I really fancy a steampunk theme, and have spent the last couple of days trying to find a decent steampunk graphic novel that has plenty of good pics showing machinery and architecture etc. If anyone has anything we could use, or can point me in a better direction than I'm aiming at the moment I'd appreciate it as I'm not having a lot of luck! I'm also toying with the idea of getting a new P profile neck, preferably Rosewood, as the reason I don't play this thing now is because the neck is a bit like a banana! Many thanks for looking and any input much appreciated

No Monkman but Kirby Gregory is back playing lead guitar, and a damn fine job of it he does too! Saw em in MK earlier this year, and it was great to hear some of the lesser known songs from his time with the band.

That Bridge looks fookin awesome!!! Congrats Lee

Yay I remember those wallmounted plush seats! Is the snug still there, hidden behind the fireplace?
