Thanks, all in all, a tad over 2 months. The first composed of a lot of sanding (by hand, 2-3 weeks) as well as painting (2 weeks, with 1 week break between paint and lacquer). Then a 3 week curing period followed by wetsanding and buffing (1 week). Sanding took so much time because I have to...

Are those pictures after the fire?? Looks perfectly fine to me. String that baby up

I really like the octopus, very original

I have had success with krylon. It is currently enamel based and a lot of people will tell you to stay away from this because it is a softer paint and there can be problems with clear coating. As long as you allow sufficient time (2-3 days) between the final coat of paint and the initial misting...

the custom painted headstock on my squier pbass the beast in its entirety ... in the process of refinishing

That is very useful. I think that's what I will do also. Thanks for all your help :hyper: . I will look into that treble/bass cut, sounds interesting

Looking at the wiring diagram, I think i see what you mean. Could I get around this by keeping both volume pots but adding a 3 way? Something like this http://www.seymourduncan.com/pdfs/support/schematics/2h_2v_1t_3w.pdf pretending those are bass pickups, of course

so then, turning the J pickup volume to zero on a 2v/t is the same as switching to the P pickup on a 3way/v/t?

yes, as in leaving only the other pickup

Is that to say that turning one of the volume knobs to 0 on the pbass special doesn't completely isolate the other pickup?? It seemed to sound like it to me when I was experimenting (but I'm new to bass).
