Should I kill him?

[Tait]

my bass teacher's just got this new stingray 5 in black, the model with the piezo. What he told me the other day made my jaw drop, I can't believe it. He planning on refinishing it (by hand, hes not even getting it done professionally) as follows:

1) Spray over black in red

2) Spray over red in blue

3) Spray over blue in white

4) Spray over white in [b]flourescent yellow[/b]

5) Attack with sander, bringing all of the different colours through in splodges



Now, do I kill him before he gets the chance?

*i just want to add, i don't really plan on killing him. i dont want the cops coming round.

Yes, strike him down before it is too late.

And then give it to me.

[Tait]

i should add a poll to this, see what you think... in percentage form

[ashevans09]

This could be interesting...in the end it's his bass. I'd be interested to see photos

IIWY I'd just let him get on with it.... unless he does someting outrageously sutpid, he wont do it much damage. He may get bored of it and sell it to you for next to nowt... You can get it re finned....

However a certain Mr Clapton got two freaky Dutch acid heads to paint a nice Gibson LP, so it looked like a year 4 painting class had had it for a day.... That LP is now worth a small house in the country, and has it own signature model copying it to every detail.....

Strange world we live in....!

Its not as if he could make it any uglier with the stupid big pickguard on those things.

Yeah, but like, you're subsidising his proposed insanity by paying him your money in return for his teaching services.
Kill him. Now.

Tell the authorities that;

"BASSCHAT made me do it."

Really.

They'll believe you...

[tauzero]

Is he related to Steve Irwin by any chance? Just wondered if he wanted to fsck a stingray in revenge...

[jacko]

It's his bass, Why should you care what he does to it?

p.s. there's no such thing as a good stingray anyway so what does it matter?

[OldGit]

Just post his address on the EBMM forum

[DanOwens]

I did a similar thing but with pink gloss undercoat and matt black overcoat and just threw it around for a bit. Granted, it was a rubbish 'Rockwood by Hohner' 3/4 size guitar that I was ripping the frets out of anyway.

Its actually a pretty interesting look!!!

Do you mean the Fool SG? That was painted by dutch artists The Fool.

Let him. It's a new, production-line bass, finished in black - it's not like it's anything rare, old or unique. If he hates it/sells it, it would be a simple refin to get it back to how it was. Besides, it might look interesting - I've never heard of a custom finish done like that before, & it might work.

That said, if it was me, I'd get a cheapo body to try it out on first - if he's considering using an electric sander to remove the layers, odds are he'll make a bloody mess of it that's nothing like what he wants.

+1. The SR4 is a beautiful instrument. How the hell it evolved into those hideous things God only knows. Let him butcher it. It can only be an improvement.

[lee4]

It's just attention seeking.He's probably feeling a bit insecure.

[Tait]

Hes done it, so I got some pictures today.

[Jean-Luc Pickguard]

It looks like its made of a lump of cheese that has been found at at the back of a student's fridge.

[OldGit]

Reminds me of something

[DirkThrust]

I think it's an improvement
