No once it cools down it stays sticky but keeps it shape If you do it right when you stretch the vinyl round the sides and you cut it back it leaves a nice edge but I think @kodiakblair is the best person to point you in the right direction when it comes to paisley vinyl do's and don'ts 😀

Because we've got a black and a white thread I thought why not start an Orange one!?! It can include orange pickguard etc as well Here's my contributions: Jazz bass copy And my almost finished converted 5 string P bass copy

Don't worry mate I don't take offence to anything you say if everybody liked the same things life would be a very bland and boring place Thanks for the nice comments aswell I never use emoji's (smilies ha ha!) anywhere else but on here as a couple of my earlier posts a few people took my sense of humour the wrong way so I started using them to stop any confusion I do have a certain style that reflects in my builds/projects which suits my personality which is bold and brash, if I was selling the basses then I would probably would tone it down a bit unless that's what people wanted but because they are for me I can have fun with the colour schemes and as you've seen lots of times if I'm not happy with it I'll change it 👍

Thanks I think?? I know that most of my ideas aren't to everyone's tastes but you can't please everyone so I just do what I like!! 😁

Yeah I much prefer playing to my P the action is nice and low and the neck is nice and quick, even though its set up the same as my P it just feels better to play I've just got to sort out the electrics as it on a solderless harness and 1 of the ends came off when I was stripping it down to spray 🤬

Here's my recently refinished Jazz kit build @BrunoBass I decided against the White and went for the Orange instead 😀

All finished and back together, just a quick little project 😀

I've got 1 more kit build planned (a warwick corvette copy) which I was thinking of doing yellow and black 😀

I was considering doing the blue and orange that I was going to use on my conversion but I because I'm doing the chequered pickguard I'm going to do it just orange maybe I'll do it on a different project 😀

Nope, it's definitely a bold choice of colour!! 😁

Just done a second coat in the top so I'll wait for it to dry till tomorrow then get it all back together 😀

I have that on nearly every build!! 🤬

Yes I do!! 😁 But if it doesn't look good I can keep the pickguard black anyway

Great minds and all that!! The colour I'm using is basically the same as Capri Orange but it's going to have the chequered pickguard 😀

Finally got round to do a setup on it! I definitely prefer playing this to my P but in my usual fashion I'm not happy with the finish so I'm going to refinish it Because I've got a thing for Orange at the mo I've decided to go for it I'll post some pics tomorrow 😀

No worries

If you don't have access to a laser printer I don't mind printing it off for you and posting it to you 😀

Yeah thats your problem inkjet ink is water soluble it won't work without a laser printer

Did you use a laser jet printer or a ink jet printer?

Thanks mate I keep on seeing the Steve Harris chequered bass so I thought I'd give it a go his is different it's White backed with a black pickguard but I thought the Orange just gives it something a bit different You just heat the vinyl with a hair dryer and stretch it round and it manages to keep the shape I love the chequerboard look I so I've decided to refinish my Jazz its either going to be White or Orange with chequered pickguard and black hardware??

That's one tasty looking bass!! What size nut are you using and what's the string spacing at the bridge? As I've just converted a P Bass from a 4 to a 5 string and was hoping it might be possible to do my Jazz aswell? 😀

Got the top on and all back together The strings are VERY close to the edge if the fretboard I had a little play up and down the neck and the strings didn't fall off the sides so it might be OK?? If not I will get a 5 string neck and do it that way instead, Just got to order my strings and then I can give it a proper go!?! 😀

I agree FireDragons or Ddraig Dân 😀

I keep on looking at this one very tempting 🤔 https://www.musicstore.de/en_GB/GBP/Jack-Danny-Bass-guitar-JB-Vintage-1975-VWH-Vintage-White/art-BAS0009120-000 Damn it seeing that is now making me thinking of refinishing my Jazz Like this but with Black hardware!! 🙄
