I'm going to be repainting this bass I purchased on ebay for around $250, it is in great shape (just a little ding by the input jack).   |

If I told you what color it is going to be it would ruin the surprise, but here are some pictures of it after the sanding process was completed.  |

almost done with the bass, just waiting on the new pickguard and strap locks to come in. Will upload more photos when it is completed, since there is a limit on my uploads. |

Upload them there, then when you create a posting here, use the advanced settings. From there, you can add the URL (which photobucket will provide). Voila!

Very common for fender. Even some of the us bodies have veneers. I've got a 9 piece(counting the veneers) P bass that rocks!
Looking fwd to the pics!
