anzoid Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Just under a year in the making... purchased cheap from eBay early last year with broken electronics but a killer neck. Put in an EMG MMCS plus BTS control system. Stripped the body to re-finish it and made a hash of the re-finish so sent the body to [url="http://www.jacksinstrumentservices.com/"]Jack's Instrument Services[/url] in Manchester last September to be done in NYC Taxi Cab Yellow to go with the black hardware and custom scratchplate - scratchplate also by Jack. Cannot recommend Jack and Kieran's work highly enough. Excellent customer service and exceptional work for very good prices.

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Like where's the checkerboard ? Quote

[/quote] It did cross my mind to put a checkerboard on there somewhere... just couldn't work out where or how... plus thought I might regret it Quote

You can always change that again. Quote

anzoid Posted February 4, 2015 Author Posted February 4, 2015 Hmmm, maybe a clear scratchplate that I can put stuff underneath... Quote
discreet Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Anodized gold! Top bling. And everyone will think you're a pimp. Who plays the bass. What's not to like? Quote
planer Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Love it. It needs nothing. What a great colour :-) Quote

waynepunkdude Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Here's one I did a few years back Quote
anzoid Posted February 5, 2015 Author Posted February 5, 2015 Ghost Bass - love the strap... then checked the prices $450 upto over $2000 - bit out of my league waynepunkdude - very nice! I did think about getting the headstock done like yours at the same time but in the end figured I'd leave it plain maple. Quote
Ghost_Bass Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 You can go for a cheaper alternative but those yellow stripes on the side look way cooler. https://www.punkrockshop.co.uk/detail/musical--instruments/strbwck&cur=AUD&cur=GBP?category=musical--instruments&code=strbwck&cur=AUD&cur=GBP Quote
waynepunkdude Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 If I like semi's I'd get one of these. Quote
