That’s very true the paint went on nicely but was quite soft for ages

Link above I used dark grey under to get Olympic white

I think aerosols are restricted actually

You paid £14 ? I have one you could have had for half that

If I were in a gigging band I’d do that Bryan Adams and mel C song; one of my female colleagues is in a working band and says it always goes down a storm

“Olympic white jazz bass with a difference”

If you check my jazz bass build thread that’s exactly what I used - be very careful about your choice of undercoat colour - good advice given in that thread by the folks on here. I found it on eBay - reliced up a treat @Useless amateur this was the seller https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331769206320 although this listing is for clear laquer

You must have been unlucky - he has always been awesomely helpful

If anyone knows mr currie in person then feel free to tell him how much I appreciated “waking hours” once I listened with my bass player ears fitted

I met him once, just as he came off stage and was heading for the gents - very charming man 😎

I’ll nominate Justin currie Of del amitri subtle, solid and very tasteful... whilst singing

Couldn’t you find your own head then ? I always find it just above my neck somewhat below the ceiling (or sky if outside). Maybe you were outside and they needed the flaming torches to help in the search ...,🤔

Maybe we should record a tribute on YouTube en homage to your tutorial ...

My friend wouldn’t stop either - he was literally like a brother to me, much nicer than my actual brother and just what I wanted one to be. He was an only child and said the same thing. Still miss him now dead at 35

Pretty sure that @Norris has one still

Or a Norwegian blue ....

Is gravity helping ? The work piece seems to be stuck to the ceiling

Fixed

I think they painted colours over bursts that went wrong too. I’d totally leave it unmolested if I were in your shoes, if you change it you’ll lose the magic, like a puppy replacing an old much-loved dog

I agree, and I was careful to state the issue was with a jazz, just trying to sound a note of caution as I know that aftermarket plates are a minefield

Actually not so certain - I thought so but someone I sold a mim jazz plate to says it doesn’t his k Samick jazz.

You should take a sample and do the DNA thing; she’s probably Bolivian in there somewhere

It’s active ?

I do have such a bass but sadly it is buried - I’ll dig it out if thunderbird’s answer is not enough
