TheGreek Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I was looking at coloured strings yesterday..we all know about coloured DRs but you can also get coloured strings from Aurora: http://stringsbyaurora.com/our-strings/our-colors DRs will provide custom sets to dealers - not sure about to customers but they are available in the following sizes: [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]30, 40, 45, 50, 60, 65, 70, 80, 85, 90, 100, 105, 110, 120, 125 ([i]not[/i] 0.35 though)[/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]If you're into a set of multi-coloured strings you could go for a set of Alice multi-coloured - available on eBay for about £8 - surprisingly good value and the colour stays on.[/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]With your machine heads you could just get some plastic and shrink to fit with a paint stripping gun...[/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]I'd like to see the results...[/size][/font] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delberthot Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 There used to be a US seller on Ebay that would let you choose what colours you wanted of DR ones - I got 6 different ones for this bass [IMG]http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad111/Delberthot/Various/JPEGImage2824Large.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad111/Delberthot/Various/JPEGImage2383Large.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gothpugs Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 I'm getting a Dean Playmate from my other half for christmas It's black, so I'm going to add some coloured strings, machine heads etc, to personalise it (in green) as well as some other features For the sake of shrink wrapping plastic onto them, I may as well get some metal paint, and paint them and put a layer of sealent / gloss on top to prevent cracking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
