Hello bass friends, Im doing a fun little project, but not a bass this time. (i know, i know...) the picture below is what im shooting for. I ordered nitro, and tint to get that color. I plan to just barely tint it and work up to that opacity. But im worried that grain on my alder body...

Thanks guys. Im pretty happy with it. I really didnt care about having a decal , but i wanted to practice up since im refinishing my real strat's neck. Which proved to be wise cause i made a couple of booboos on this one. Plus its not like i pretend its a really Jazz Bass. When people...

Well here she is for anyone that cares. I know its not a hand built holy grail of a bass, or even a super luthier project, but i enjoyed it and i like posting about it. So her she is. Still havent done the epoxy tho. o well. Changed the gloss finish to satin. Painted the PG with black...

very cool. the blue and body shape reminds me of a PRS gu***r. Cant wait to see more!

ok. i tighened the truss rod, it was really loose and lowered the string till it was too low then raised them just enough and it still doesnt seem like much. i even had to shim the neck up because i couldnt even get the string to bottom out with the saddles all the way down. EVery now and then a...

i dont need epoxy. ok. well i will try lowering the strings. i was thinking the were kinda high. and as for rounds messing with boards; i played my bass with rounds for 10 songs at church sunday( 5 practice, 5 not-practice) and there are marks all over the board. just little scratches i...

i guess this involves setup so i posted here. I got a fretless jazz with rosewood board. i put some new dunlop stainless rounds on it cuz i want it to sing/mwah. like this I understand how to play fretless vibrato etc. even when i slide up to notes its not really mwahing. its kinda a thud...

i am considering Mirror Coat on my fretless. just wanted to see if others are having success with DIY epoxy!

Now thats a good looking Bama...i mean uh...Bevo-caster, lol jk. midnight wine isnt my fav either. looks awesome now and very original. i wish i could get results like that when painting stuff! Great job!

My dad used something very very similar to that on a bar top and it was friggin hard as a rock. and he didnt have to sand or polish to get an awesome finish. just poured and cured. I still have it, now i dont know where to use it or my Mirror Coat....

sweet man. my little sister has the same bass. maybe i will give a facelift too! I like the color scheme. Awesome. consider me subbed.

sub'd. I wish there was a guitar luthier forum as good as this one.....

man this is an awesome thread. is there any pics of the finished product? I was gonna put some mirror coat on my SX! looks pretty straight forward....

Thank you. Hopefully i can get her put back together in the next few days. I painted the pickguard with black laquer and it looks a lot better. but theremaybe a tort PG in the future

The last clear went on sunday night and has been sitting for a couple days so i will probably epoxy it and call it done just cuz i have a gig coming up. Honestly, im not digging the highgloss poly... after looking at other basses more closely, i think i like a satin finish on maple necks...
