Rammsteinbrit Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) Probably not appealing to anyone but myself, however, i just got this done, Its a Custom design i made and have wanted on it for AGGGGGEES, finally got around to it and now im soooooooooooooooooo damn moist over it!!! lol YUM: Darbs. Edited April 7, 2010 by Rammsteinbrit Quote
lemmywinks Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 That looks ace! Don't usually like that sort of thing but i'm impressed You should really get a black bridge and tuners on that bass though, the chrome bridge spoils the stealth! Quote
Rammsteinbrit Posted April 7, 2010 Author Posted April 7, 2010 Cheers Lemmy! It KIND of IS a black Bridge etc, its a weird sort of metal.... Looks better in real life.. but yeah man, its one Stealthy MFer... ....One time it played a gig without even getting out of the case!!! Darbs Quote
EdwardHimself Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 Hmm dunno if i'm so keen on the idea of a JH guitar design on a bass? Quote
Raggy Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 Very nice, looks like James Hetfield's geetar thang Quote
Rammsteinbrit Posted April 7, 2010 Author Posted April 7, 2010 Ah.....the pennies dropped, i think ill go check this Hetfield guitar out, not really seen much of him really, more of an old school 'Tallica fan...(Hate Rob, Love Jason) Darbs. Quote
Rammsteinbrit Posted April 7, 2010 Author Posted April 7, 2010 Well....i feel like a total idiot now. How the feck did that even happen? Its nearly identical... Goddamn Darbs. Quote

Rammsteinbrit Posted April 7, 2010 Author Posted April 7, 2010 Hehehe, well where i work is underneath a guy who does signs etc, and we did this a experiment/bored-afternoon-job... Looks good though, im very happy with it, im gonna get a little something done to the Fretboard... Then after that, im gonna get something done to my other fender which a nice white... Im think black vines! Darbs. Quote
Guest Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Looks cool, but also does make it look like you are a big Hetfield fan. Quote
merello Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 It's Hetfield's tribute to Cliff Burton so I wouldn't worry too much. JH wears Burton's iron cross ring. Quote
Rammsteinbrit Posted April 8, 2010 Author Posted April 8, 2010 Cheers for the nice comments, i didnt overally realise the Metallica referances, i do now However, i play in a blues band, so the average blues punter wont understand about the JH reference... The reason i got the Iron Cross is because i have a Iron Cross tattooed on me, it was more of a Malta thing... ANYWHO i still love its tits off, and think it looks lovely... Darbs.......still moist.

bh2 Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 That's great! I remember in the seventies there was a brand of motorcycle helmets that had a similar design. Quote
Eight Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Looks absolutely sick!!! I didn't get the Metallica similarity either (and have been a metal fan for twenty years now) so you'll probably get away with it unless surrounded by guitarists or Metallica faithful. Even if people do see the similarity, when it looks that good who cares!?! Quote
WarPig Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 [quote name='Brave Sir Robin' post='800086' date='Apr 8 2010, 07:14 PM']It's got a Motorhead vibe. I like.[/quote] yeah motorhead came to my....head before metallica did. Lemmys ric has one i think. Quote
Rammsteinbrit Posted April 10, 2010 Author Posted April 10, 2010 Ahhh, now i wont Lie and say that Lemmy didnt have any influence over my design choice.... ....cos it did! Thanks for all the kind comments, im gonna have some work done on the fretboard, and also something done to one of my other "less used" Basses.... Ill post pics when its done Darbs. Quote
AttitudeCastle Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 liking the Iron Cross! Like the epiphone Nikki Sixx crossed with the James Hetfield ESP! i like it alot! Quote

Getting some good looks at gigs, matches my Iron Cross Strap too (Lemmy Copy) Darbs. Quote
arsenic Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 The design you have used is not really my cup of tea.....BUT, the standard of work there is excellent. I like the sound of the vine design - if that goes ahead, please share it with us. You do realise the business opportunity the two of you cou have here? - even just as a way to make a bit of extra cash. Quote
