sshorepunk Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) I bought this 'ray earlier this year from Mick "The Greek". At some time, someone had attempted to relic it, the result was not good! [attachment=114310:IMG_3289.JPG] So I stripped it of all parts [attachment=114311:IMG_3290.JPG] [attachment=114312:IMG_3291.JPG] I cant add any more images so will upload them elsewhere Tony Edited July 28, 2012 by sshorepunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Tipping Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 OFFT! Nice work man. Where did you get the bridge with mutes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sshorepunk Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 Now joined by my old faithfull, 2005 buttercream for a pick gaurd swap! I'm thinking off white on this bass, but figured I'd try a the tort' off of the buttercream and run that bass naked for a while! Naked Buttercream 'ray Tort' on the refinished bass And a few random shots, trying to get the bass out in some natural light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubis Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 You lucky lucky man! Only my opinion of course, but I think you should stick with tort on the buttercream one and also swap the mute bridge to that one and then go for a parchment pickguard on the refin one. Lovely paint job, who did it? Has the buttercream one got an East preamp by the way, how do they compare? Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sshorepunk Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 Niagra blue is the colour, often seen on VW campers through the 1970's T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Ooof! I don't normally like rosewood on Rays, but that really works with the blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sshorepunk Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 I'm pleased with it, just need to do some soldering and get an off white pick guard now! T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
