Grangur Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Looks great. I recon you need a tort PG. Best order some tort paint too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrunoBass Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I've been thinking about doing something similar, now having seen what a great job you've done I'm going to press on. Well done, it looks amazing and I look forward to some sound clips. Regarding the template, was that something you downloaded or did you simply just draw around the headstock of a MD sig?

tobiewharton Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 This looks brilliant! I think you've done a fantastic job. Personally, I'd keep the gold - it does set it off with the brass saddles... Tobie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikki_Sixx Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Everytime I hear someone say 'gold pickguard' I shudder a little, but this is a real looker! The re-shaped headstock looks great too, I bet that was a bit nerve racking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit noodly, but you should get an idea of what the bass sounds like. 2 minutes.

keefbaker Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 It looks great, but I'm not big on the sound. Mind you, for the price of the bass it's not going to have gods own pickups in it, is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
