Annoying Twit Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 (edited) Not quite sure about the white bit, but otherwise I think this is a nice looking custom [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fretless-JAZZ-Bass-Guitar-Customised-Johnson_W0QQitemZ350113888876QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fretless-JAZZ-Bass-G...6QQcmdZViewItem[/url] Edit: Or maybe not, the routing for the neck pickup looks a bit big. Oh well, I do like the cement effect paint. Edited October 25, 2008 by Annoying Twit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 The seller does say it comes with a pickguard, and with that routing I would definitely be fitting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJA Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 butt-ugly headstock alert....(as on Axl basses?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosebass Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Plasti-cote smatter paint, I have used it on fireplace surrounds, but wouldn't think it too robust on a bass without about 5 coats of lacquer over it. I think it is about £8.99 for a large spray can in B&Q the famous luthier suppliers.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Yup that's a very AXL head - I think Johnson and AXL are the same thing or at least one is licences to the other. I think it looks good (for an £80'er) but it doesn't make sense why if he/she was going to put on a solid finish that they didn't just pack out that sloppy pup cavity.

Bassassin Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 You could knock out a mini-scratchplate to cover that rout in 20 minutes. Or maybe it's deliberately visible to make people think it's a US Fender... :ph34r: Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylon Pilson Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Nice concept, shame about the execution. S.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skankdelvar Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) Nearly bought a kitchen worktop like that. But it looks different in a sort of good way.... Edited October 26, 2008 by skankdelvar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
