I was considering doing the blue and orange that I was going to use on my conversion but I because I'm doing the chequered pickguard I'm going to do it just orange maybe I'll do it on a different project 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpondonBassed Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I've always liked orange or strong yellow against black I like black. Any highlight colour looks good against black. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpondonBassed Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Seeing it is much better than trying to visualise it. It's not as bad as I thought it might be. (Ducks for a moment.

I don't use smilies* but if I did, there would have been some sort of cute little cartoon face winking at you. One of the reasons I enjoy your posts is because you see things the way you do. It is different from how I see them. That's most definitely a good thing. It's been said already and I agree; you've put up an admirable number of projects in a relatively short space of time. You have a style that is apparent throughout. One of the things that makes musicians stand apart from the main stream is the willingness to see things from interesting points of view. Yours is such a view. Don't ever lose that my friend. * Yes I know they're now called emojis but I am old school and my nurse hasn't arrived with my noon bedbath yet so I'm quite curmudgeonly about them right now.

Don't worry mate I don't take offence to anything you say if everybody liked the same things life would be a very bland and boring place Thanks for the nice comments aswell I never use emoji's (smilies ha ha!) anywhere else but on here as a couple of my earlier posts a few people took my sense of humour the wrong way so I started using them to stop any confusion I do have a certain style that reflects in my builds/projects which suits my personality which is bold and brash, if I was selling the basses then I would probably would tone it down a bit unless that's what people wanted but because they are for me I can have fun with the colour schemes and as you've seen lots of times if I'm not happy with it I'll change it 👍 Edited July 27, 2018 by Jimothey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
