Yep, just a rattle can matte black. I've got a mate who is pretty handy with a spray can. Sure there will be a few runs and a little orange peel, but it will be stealth!!!

I don't care what it is. ANYTHING to cover up that hideous wood will be acceptable.

Yeah, I paid good money for that body core!

Perhaps I can do a few rattle can jobs for other people. You know, on a one for you, one for me kind of basis.

It will be Alembic quality paint work at a tenth of the price!

Is it too late to contribute to the build of this bass? 'Cause, I have some black paint in the garage.
Just let me know where to send it...

Perhaps I'll just ship it on a boat.
Should be cheaper and, I mean, how long could that take?
