[quote name='BassBalls' post='700462' date='Jan 4 2010, 01:59 PM']Hello i have a couple more pics for you. [attachment=39314:RobandhisJAzz001.jpg] [attachment=39315:RobandhisJAzz002.jpg] As you can see by the pics im very pleased with the bass. Adding the miniature plastic bags over the tuning pegs are adding more sustain than i could ever imagine so i decided to go against the string through body. Bass is now being 'finished' with nitro on the body and board and an oil on the back of the neck.[/quote] That is a thing of beauty.

[quote name='Sibob' post='701373' date='Jan 5 2010, 11:01 AM']Sorry if I've completely missed this elsewear, but are you lacquering the basses too, or just leaving them painted? Si[/quote] Lacquering some but some I prefer to leave matt, this one is lacquered.

That is a wonderful looking bass, can't afford it at the moment but it's nice to know they are out there, would look great with my 'new' P.

[quote name='alexisonfire' post='701148' date='Jan 4 2010, 11:40 PM']I like the matt black finish on that [b]as well[/b], querkyest P bass I've seen. (Feel free to correct my spelling)[/quote] Done

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='701002' date='Jan 4 2010, 09:30 PM']I feel that someone should point out that in the year 2040 there will be entire websites devoted to the idiots who trashed the fabulously-valuable SX range of basses, with comments along the lines of "[i]But what was he thinking? Surely he realised that he was desecrating an incredibly-rare classic instrument?"[/i]. [/quote] I really hope it happens, I feel frustrated that I can't buy 60's Fenders and paint them luminous colours. "WPD. There's some good advice in some of those answers. I think that if you were to pick and chose who you did the work for you'd be pretty happy with making some decent beer(sic!) money. The man was right about disposables tho, dont forget those costs as well as power, 'cos it all adds up. How many hours did it take you to do your own basses? I suppose its worth pointing out the blindingly obvious to some people that you are not providing them with a custom hand built bass as well! Otherwise, I think you'll be busy! Cheers Matt" It's gonna take a lot of thought, I'm not rushing into it .

[quote name='Absolute-beginner' post='700446' date='Jan 4 2010, 01:47 PM']Dude, im going to buy a cheap P and send it to you so that you make it look that good!

I'll do it for the 6X12 Cheers for the responses guy TBH I wouldn't know what to charge? I know it wouldn't be to the same standard as a custom shop :S I enjoy doing it but it is quite time consuming so I don't think I'd donate that much time for free but I wouldn't want to charge a huge amount.
