Well, what do you guys think? My band has a vintage aviation theme going on (and half of us are in aviation), so I thought this would be super badass...

Props man, that turned out REALLY cool! Hell, I bet you could make a killing marketing that design for mass production!

Thanks! I thought about doing a nose art series and maybe selling the digital files, but I would just hate to see a bunch of other tigershark ones floating around... I want to be special! :P

I like the old school aviation theme idea too.

I will be sure to post pics of our photo shoot coming up. We are going to be shooting on a B-25 Mitchell ("Devil Dog" to be exact) and I am going to be the pin up girl and all the guys are going to have vintage mechanic and pilot outfits... heh heh!

Not to be a downer, but with something that cool, its only a matter of time before some bozo rips it off (man I wish I had a Jazz bass...)

Yep, I just emailed Greasy Groove Inc to see what it is going to cost. Will definitely share the end result!

I haven't seen a bass painted like that! I originally wanted to do my bass like this but settled for the pickguard instead. I gotta go look for that now... I bet its sweet!
