Morning,
I started out with a Ferdinand Bass, as I didnt want to get rid of it as it was my first bass, I thought id Pimp it intead.
Started life as...
In the build process..
what I did....
Scrapped the neck, pups, electronics, knobs.
Rubbed down the old body, sprayed black undercoat, sprayed with a marble effect metalic paint, very very runny stuff, no thinners were needed, light coat of that paint then dabbed with a plastic bag to create the effect, Lackered. Same with the headstock.
MIM Pups installed, US Fender Knobs, US Fender Pots/electronics. US Fender Neckplate, BadAss ii Bridge, new strings (although forgot what I ended up putting on)
Job done, nearly, Still havent put the string tree on and I wouldnt mind getting a black Scratchplate but it'll have to be specially made cause its not a fender replacement.
Be nice to hear what you think, Improvments I should maybe make, The pups sound really good which supprised me, but might look to change them in the future.
