My custom made "Mars sunrise" :bassist:

Hi bassists. I just wanted to share my old project. I started it last year and ruined first attemp to copy jazz bass body. I was so pissed that i lost almost my faith in bass guitar :) So, last week i started it again and this time i succseeded. Here is my fenderbird to worn "Mars sunrise" jazz...

Nice. I like personality. I ordered myself same Squier VMJBass (natural finish, maple fretboard). Thinking to give her some personal touch too. Maybe sanding bodyfinish off, giving some color tone and recoat it with tungoil. Maybe screw on bridge cover also. Sexy thing :)
