Ou7shined Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Here's my one..... and a sneak preview of my hand built J project. The Jizz decal is on a neck I defretted but I'm now fitting a beautiful burred fretted one to the new build so I don't know what I'll do with it.

And to get the finish totally flush be prepared to put on layer after layer of lacquer and sand it all back again being careful not to cut into your decal. So basically you are building up the layers around the decal to bring it up to the same height. It's a lot of work and time (I put 2 coats on with a 1hr gap and leave to go off for 24hrs - I lost count of how many times I did it - somewhere between 10-15) but it's really worth it in the end.

Annoying Twit Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 (edited) Much more honest than some squier basses with "upgraded" Fender logos on the headstock that have been on ebay recently. I liked it so much I stole it and posted on HC. Edit: Their business model looks quite simple. Get yourself some of that paper where you can print transfers then print away. then sell them for £7.60 each. What new ones could we come up with? "Muzakman" "Gibbon Les Ape" Any others?
