JJW Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I'm a massive Misfits fan and i've always loved Jerry Onlys bass so i decided to try and make my own, it didn't go perfectly but i'm happy with it as my first attempt! I finished it but i wasnt happy so i striped the paint, resanded and gave it another go. I finished painting it on August 4th and on August 5th i went to a Misfits concert ( I took my bass without the neck) but the secrurity stop me saying i wasnt allowed! I ended up speaking to the tour promoter who thought it was awesome that i build my own guitar, he spoke to Jerry Only and eventually I got to meet him backstage where he very kindly signed it for me! I am pretty happy with the end product considering i'm only 15.

Beedster Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Nice one JJW, that's a none too shabby first attempt at bass building and a damn good story to go with it. Keep up the good work mate Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
