It’d be a beautiful creation. Someone should tip Yamaha off! Give us some crazy colours. Or at least vintage white/creme with a matching headstock?! Hell, if they did that I’d just put up with it weighing 10.5lbs, just take a couple of ibuprofen and be happy 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not Yammy on the headstock though, but thanks for asking. Out of interest, do you not use abbreviations - or is that simply too long a word? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) After a thorough google search I've decided I would like to buy a beaten up 424 and have it lovingly refinished in Pharaoh Gold I got the idea after coming across a really bad photo of a natural finish 2024 that made it look like dullish gold. I'm now trying to picture the BB's pickup surrounds against that textured gold (initially I wanted to write "metallic gold" but that seemed tautologous....🙄) Edited February 3, 2021 by Ricky Rioli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krispn Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Be great to get back out gigging with a refin - a proper sparkles job! I did a Sherwood Green on a cheapie jazz but it really could do with a proper paint. Shame a refin would be over twice the value of the bass! Still worth considering down the line.

Al Krow Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 Bet Andy could do it pretty professionally and for half the cost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krispn Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 The front looks fine it's just got a few runs on the back but no one will see those. A sparkle flake in Sherwood Green would be fabulous and well worth the professional fee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 £250-300 to refinish a bass whose market value is only £250-300 sounds madness, but on the other hand, just £500-600 for an instrument that sounds and looks magnificent.... As far as I can see, there are plenty of ways of spending more on instruments that are neither. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krispn Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) *Warning non-Yamaha content* I like it how it turned out as is. A £250 paint job on top of new pick ups and then it all becomes folly! I can see some new dings and a run but for a £120 bass it sounds and feels as good as many other jazz basses out there for a lot more money.
