Thanks guys - I'll upload more pictures with the paint hopefully this week.

We've also decided to change the pickguard shape... :ph34r:

question is cost?

G.A.S central right now.

Not as much as you'd think! Best bet would be to give a luthier a shout. Rich is VERY reasonable with his prices.

His attention to detail is great and he's kept me up to date through the whole process. Even when we encountered issues. :)

Any news on this?... :yarr:

Well the paint wasn't taking to the bass correctly - so wasn't curing.

It's well on the way to being done, we've decided on how the control setup will be (for LEDs etc). Its going to have some push/pull switching going on, so will still look like "classic" jazz.

I think we're just waiting on the paint fully curing then the parts being put together. I'll ask Rich to snap some more photos just to see the current look (hopefully now the paints well on the way it'll photograph better :P

OK then, here's a wee sneaky peek. :D
Totally unpolished, the overcast skies and my dodgy camera doesn't do the vibrancy of the purple any justice but...



(I've put this pic in your folder too Dave ;))
